>Whether its dealing with, e.g., "beside the rock" or "in the array", it's doing the same kind of inferential activity.

Are you sure about that? Presumably the spatial concept of "inside" and the computer memory concept of "inside" have different contextual embeddings in an LLM, not so different from how our brains have different neural activation patterns when we use different concepts. Unless you think that "the same kind of inferential activity" also applies to human neurons firing.
