You need to be more specific. If your point is that you literally cannot backprop while doing a forward pass, then sure. But you can certainly do inference then backprop on the outcome...

I fail to see how that is substantially different from a human doing something then reflecting and learning.

You can critique LLMs and transformers generally, but to say it's somehow a problem with backprop is a bit of a stretch.

My read is that the user is saying that creating a world view contains trial and error. Online learning if you will. With the current setup this learning is very much not like this. While that makes a human to machine analogy I am also not too convinced by this reasoning. Just allow for a larger time lag and then the inference and learning is at the same scale.
