I'm still not sure what people declaring that they equate human cognition with large language models think they are contributing to the conversation when they do so.

Nevermind the fact that they are literally able to introspect human cognition and presumably find non verbal and non linear cognition modes.

Are they, though? Or are they just predicting their own performance (and an explanation of that performance) on input the same way they predict their response to that input?

Humans say a lot of biologically implausible things when asked why they did something.
