Functionally, a Markov chain shares many parallels with human cognition for the same reasons.

People don't understand what correlation is and they assume the mapping between a human brain and an LLM is 1:1 in every case where it matters, which is a religious and not scientifically based belief.

I agree, it's correlated and useful as a mental model for using LLMs, not as an explanation.
