  That’s exactly what thinking is, though.

    An LLM is an ordered series of parameterized / weighted nodes which are fed a bunch of tokens, and millions of calculations later result generates the next token to append and repeat the process. It’s like turning a handle on some complex Babbage-esque machine. LLMs use a tiny bit of randomness when choosing the next token so the responses are not identical each time.

    But it is not thinking. Not even remotely so. It’s a simulacrum.

      I know what am LLM is doing. You don’t know what your brain is doing.
