I think this has always been pretty obvious but the AI faithful have vested interested in insisting that LLM can actually think and solve problems.

More shocking are those that insists that the human brain must then also work by just guessing the next missing thing. As if the thought process behind I'm hungry starts with "I" and then trying to figure out what next best fits in... it's absurd.

The token would be the pure sensation of hunger, not the word for self, which is merely a convenient abstraction which we use to share knowledge between outside and over time.

LLMs don't have that sensation (why would they?), that doesn't mean can only be used for text: https://deepgram.com/learn/applications-of-transformer-model...

Jeez, I don't know how you would think that I thought that LLMs would have a sensation for hunger. That was not even close to my point at all.

That sounds like {you think that {people who think LLMs work like humans} believe that {the human sensation of hunger} is merely {saying the phrase "I am hungry"}}.
