The notion of "thinking" is not clear. I'll agree thinking with symbols is powerful and something (adult) humans and computers can do, but is is not the only way of making decisions. I'm going to suggest LLMs are not thinking this way, but that indeed "glorified auto complete" (c.f. Hinton) is far more useful than it seems. Https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.08403
