There is no mechanism for awareness with LLMs, though. Advances on probabilistic search will have equal facility with hallucination as with the real. Regardless of whether Chomsky's article "proves" your negative, there is plenty of evidence that LLMs are not even as good as dogs and cats at forming a theory of the world around them. That we might draw a conclusion that dogs, cats, and people work differently from LLMs seems more like common sense.
