"LLMs don’t have human understanding or metacognition"
Then what's the (auto-completing) fucking problem? It's just a series of steps on data. You could feed it white noise and it would vomit up more noise. And keep doing it as long as there's power.
Intelligent?
No, it doesn't. You're in sci-fi land. There is no "it" "trying to make sense". That cogitation is happening in YOU, not the motherboard.
Touché.
Intelligence doesn't require "self" and we're a living proof of that. The way LLMs and humans operate have much more similarities than people like to admit. We're just applying higher standards to AI.
