How can you tell that our thoughts don't come from a biological LLM? Maybe what we conceive as "understanding" is just a feeling emerging from a more fondamental mechanism like temperature emerges from the movement of particles.
Because we have biological, developmental, and psychological science telling us that's not how higher-level thinking works. Human brains have the ability to function on a sort of autopilot similar to "AI", but that is not what we are describing when we speak of creative substance.
