Sure, if we're going based on feelings, that'd be an interesting take. Anything grounded in any research or actual science though?

Sure. There are several papers (all the ones I've seen come from the companies themselves, which is unfortunate) which treat the LLMs as semi-biological systems and attempt to understand their behavior at a higher level, which suggests higher order behavior that isn't well predicted by the "probabilistic database" angle.

Here's one that I happen to have the URL handy for: https://transformer-circuits.pub/2025/attribution-graphs/bio...
