Computationally what’s the difference between a human and an LLM besides scale and speed? Trained humans are still using heuristics and shortcuts. Just because these are subconscious and only possessed by talented, trained professionals doesn’t make the skill computationally special.

LLM do not think because they are not real "AI", but it does copy the linear patterns people exhibit if statistically salient within the granularity of the higher dimensional vector search space proximity. Watermarking does skew the compaction slightly, but not far from resulting output patterns. =3
