That doesn’t really answer the question, though, they didn’t ask if it was more/less efficient than a human (which itself isn’t even a question that could be answered, as there’s no way to benchmark thoughts). I am really unsettled by the way LLMs are being imbued with presumptive analogs to the functions of the brain. I wish the entire industry would take it down a notch. The technology is incredibly fascinating, and has real potentials, but claiming it could be compared at any level to human minds, in my opinion, reflects an ignorance of the underlying technology, or the mechanisms of the brain, or else a cynical cash grab using hype and lingo to convince the wider world that it’s something it just isn’t. They used to be metaphors, but now the distinctions are much blurrier.
