Emulating being the key word here. Putting words in a similar order as a critical thinker would, isn't the same as critical thinking. Have you looked at the output of "reasoning" models? It's funny, for sure, but not impressive or threatening. It exposes the models for the statistical word generators they are.

Add the fact that they totally suck at tasks outside of those spanned by the training data. I know there's a vision of the future where humans are all gig workers generating specialised training data for LLMs, but it doesn't sound much more plausible to me than a future where intellectual progress forever stops at the 2022 level, because everything will be done by LLMs and that's when anything new stopped being thought of.
