I highly suspect that whatever organic mechanism in the human brain generates and processes metaphor what generative AI chatbots are leveraging, and the key to why they work so well. Metaphor is a sort of "translation" between ideas, and in this sci-fi example, a literal translation between languages; which LLMs share in reality, which is their ability to gain function from training on one language that leads to understanding of other languages. So, when we train a model on phrases like, "time is money", and it's able to discern both that time is not literally money, and that time expenditure can be equivalent to monetary expenditure. That ability to do translation between concepts is how language is able to perform "work" on information. Metaphorically, of course.
