Hell i'm not even sure you or I think. This is the problem with referring to subjective perception when we can't be sure we're even referring to the same thing. A "thought" might just be a linguistic quirk of two meats exchanging information.

Cogito ergo sum... I think more or less the only thing we can be sure of is that we think. However, I don't think we REALLY know what thinking means, and whether the way we think is categorically different from how an LLM thinks.
I've always felt that "sum" was sufficient and self-evident. I see no reason to drag "cogito" into the conversation, let alone "ergo".
Self evident perhaps, but sufficient? I think that depends on a wider context of what the question you’re trying to answer is.
