I'm sorry, but this point is trite and incorrect. Humans can manipulate concepts and compare them to other ideas. Which is why we're able to fact check and cite sources, where language models cannot.
It's true that I'm just putting one word after another right now, like a language model. But I can combine those tokens into higher level abstractions like facts and ideas, which I can then compare with other facts and ideas. If ChatGPT could do this, it wouldn't be plausibly wrong nearly as often. Instead it's just "what word is statistically likely to come next?"
