He admits himself that nobody really knows how people think, and so all the talk about LLMs looking like they are "thinking" is based purely on vibes rather than reality.

Then again, the thought occurs to me to ponder, how many actual humans really think also? Do 4-year-olds? Do ?

That thought experiment helps me to understand. Even if an LLM does perform a kind of "lower thinking" - i.e. mere imitation, of the kind that a monkey or even a 6-year-old human child might - even then, I still would not trust it to vibe-code anything for me.

And it most definitely does not "think think" i.e. higher-level thinking, though again, neither do many humans, seemingly the largest majority of the time.
