        Evidence for what?

        I’ve just diagonally read a google link where the described way humans work with language appears for me to be very similar to GPT in rough strokes. Only human brain does a lot more than language. Hence the comparisons to the mechanical Turk.

        Also Russell’s teapot.

          I’m not saying humans and LLMs generate language the same way.

          I’m not saying humans and LLMs don’t generate language the same way.

          I’m saying I don’t know and I haven’t seen clear data/evidence/papers/science to lean one way or the other.

          A lot of people seem to believe humans and LLMs don’t generate language the same way. I’m challenging that belief in the absence of data/evidence/papers/science.

              You’re actually incorrect in regards to Russell’s teapot in this instance. The correct approach is to admit to yourself and others you don’t know. Not to assume a negative became you can’t prove a positive, if you can’t prove the negative either.
