Humans can't do calculations either, by your definition. Only computers can.

Third things can exist. In other words, you’re implying a false dichotomy between “human computation” and “computer computation” and implying that LLMs must be one or the other. A pithy gotcha comment, no doubt.

Edit: the implication comes from demanding that the OP’s definition must be rigorous enough to cover all models of “computation”, and by failing to do so, it means that LLMs must be more like humans than computers.
