The difference as I pointed out elsewhere is that while humans as a whole are intellectually lazy and don't always "reason" things through, they're on the whole very capable of it, especially under duress. Hell, I've watched my 2 border collies do a kind of "reasoning" to problem solve -- step by step, observing, and breaking down a problem. They don't do it well, but they try because it's part of their drive. This is in marked contrast to the LLMs, whose appearance of reasoning is actually just a mimicry coming out of the artifacts of reasoning that other minds have done for them. It's parasitical.
