Even if an LLM it isn't "AGI" as we all imagined the term a decade ago, it will certainly be able to fake it pretty well in the near-term.

What LLMs have done is really redefine my internal definition of "intelligence."

Putting aside the fact I don't believe in free will, I'm no longer sure my own brain is doing anything substantially different to what an LLM does now. Even with tasks like math I wonder if my brain is not really "working out" the solution but merely using probabilities based on every previous math problem I have seen or solved.

I promise you that your brain is doing more than what an LLM does.

Is there much evidence that the brain is doing very much other than what a transformer is working its way towards? Either way, doesn't much matter because you are not your brain, you are a spirit inhabiting a meat sack, brain is just one of the meat sack components.
