At some point, when multiple components (including the LLM) have been connected to form a system that exhibits "knowing" (the way humans do), wouldn't the "intelligence" be distributed across the entire system rather than attributed primarily to the LLM?

In other words, the LLM wouldn't be the equivalent of the human brain. Instead, it would just be equivalent to that part of the human brain that processes language.

Interesting point that seems quite valid to me. We use different modes of thinking from analytical to emotional, verbal to nonverbal, reactionary, etc. It is possible that LLMs are the key to one of brains modules responsible for producing/processing language but it does not involve or has any knowledge of the other modules necessary for getting closer to human intelligence.
