Do LLMs "think" in a similar way to humans? Or is it totally different?

Maybe it's a good idea to listen to someone who publishes papers on this very subject, and is a professor of both philosophy and psychiatry and directs an Institute for Cognitive Science. That person is Dr. Chandra Sripada and his insights are fascinating.

Sean Carroll (interviewer, scientist and science communicator) says this interview made him lean towards the answer being "yes, they think like humans" whereas previously he favored the opposite view.

So you're going by the vibes then? Why even bother with your comment? What basis in neuroscience is this founded in?

Neurons are in fact scochastic get over it.

    It's "stochastic", if you want to be pedantic, and I get the feeling that's all you're here for. "In fact".

    stochastic

    Humans are largely too & tbh it's a rather weak argument these days, but it's also reinforcing the opposite view, because you are being really stochastic with this comment itself.
