You don't need to understand much of what "move like a person" entails to understand it's not the same method as "move like a car" even though both start with energy and end with transportation. I.e. "we also predict the next appropriate step" isn't the same thing as "we go about predicting the next step in a similar way". Even without having a deep understanding of human consciousness what we do know doesn't line up with how LLMs work.


What we do know is superficial at best, and tells us pretty much nothing relevant. And while there likely are structural differences (it'd be too amazing if the transformer architecture just chanced on the same approach), we're left to guess how those differences manifest and whether or not these differences are meaningful in terms of comparing us.

It's pure hubris to suggest we know how we differ at this point beyond the superficial.
