you are fixated on the output and what we can do within that limited set of data while ignoring the thought processes that was involved behind outputting that data as well as interpreting it.

without that "thinking" portion and simply mimicking to the point it resembles it while no such activity is happening (as I defined as accessing the conscious hyper dimensional cloud we humans can do easily).

intelligence in the english vocabulary is limited to retrieval which seems to be why there is so much push towards LLMs but this like trying to dance to a painting, you can interpret it as music and mimic dance moves but its different when a human hears the music and moves naturally.

That sounds... suspiciously like attributing inherent magic to humans. Who cares in practice that mechanisms under the hood are different if the output is the same? Why exactly are you sure humans do all these vaguely defined things inherently, and that it's not an emergent property? What even makes you think you do that? Individual capabilities are vastly overrated.

And the goal is not copying humans to begin with, just interfacing with them and be aligned just enough.
