I'll admit I did this. I tried to frame / convey my perspective on the word "think".

I tried to detail a bit more though.

No, but I'm pretty sure I don't try to predict the next word when solving a logical problem through statistical text processing. I would probably do something more like this if I were to bullshit someone or give an insipid political speech, but I think I'm quite bad at it.
(nothing to answer on the rest of your comment, it's interesting and I quite agree)

Neither do transformer / deep learning LLMs. They build an internal representation of the text that captures various relationships and structures within the broader context. They are not Markov chains.
