Yeah, I find it weird how LLMs make a lot of the kind of mistakes that people do, but somehow this is held up as being a reason why LLMs don’t work similarly to brains.

Since discovering LLMs I’ve become convinced that my brain works like them. I really don’t know the next word I’m going to say until it’s nearly out. And since learning about how LLMs work, I really can’t argue it away.

It’s a reasonably disturbing feeling.
