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.

The discussion is about cognition

Ah yes the foundation of "AI" research - retreating from obvious meanings to redefining words in order to make absurd claims.

I have no idea what you're even talking about. Neither of these people is an AI researcher and neither is making the claims you're here arguing against.
