Yes, you may be. But you still have an internal world model - through conditioning or otherwise that you're playing off against.

An LLM doesn't have that. It's very impressive parlour trick (and of course a lot more), but it's use is hence limited (albeit massive) to that.

Chaining and context assists resolving that to some extent, but it's a limited extent.

That's the argument anyway, that doesn't mean it's not incredibly impressive, but comparing it to human self-awareness, however small, isn't a fair comparison.

It's next token prediction, which is why it does classification so well.
