Then what do we do? lol.

We understand the meaning that we wish to convey and then intelligently choose the best method that we have at our disposal to communicate that.

LLMs find the most likely next word based on its billions of previously scanned word combinations and contexts. It's an entirely different process.

How does this intelligence work? Can you explain how 'meaning' is expressed in neurons, or whatever it is that makes up consciousness?

I don't think we know. Or if we have theories, the error bars are massive.

How is that different than using one's learned vocabulary?

How do you know we understand and LLMs don't? To an outsider they look the same. Indeed, that is the point of solipsism.

Because unlike a human brain, we can actually read the whitepaper on how the process works.

They do not "think", they "language", i.e. large language model.
