The question is why would LLMs be able to think? Cars don't think, houses don't think, crock pots don't think. Those are all made of the same matter as us, who think, but that is not enough to assume something thinks. Animals think, humans think, but LLMs are not animals, and not human animals, so why would they think? You don't have to be worried about the coming AI apocalypse to wonder about that. Personally, I just want to know how things work, and saying that something "thinks" when we don't know how everything else "thinks" in the first place is not satisfying my curiosity.
