LLMs are like human minds the same way airplanes are like birds. Both birds and airplanes can fly, but very differently. Birds can land on a dime, airplanes can't. Airplanes can carry a lot more weight and go faster.
Similarly LLMs can do things humans can't. No human has as much knowledge about the world as a typical LLM model. However, an LLM model can't generalize outside it's training set well (recent Deep Mind research). LLM doesn't have a memory outside it's input. LLM isn't Turing complete (has fixed amount of steps and always terminates).
We are building airplanes, not birds. That much is obvious.
