It's not even a database. It's exactly what you say, a human simulator. That's a good way to describe an LLM. It's not accurate or predictable enough in its retrieval of training material to be a database. A reasoning engine it certainly is not either. Vendors try to shoehorn it into that purpose like OpenAI with their o models. But I think that's more because of the popularity of LLMs. Other types of AI models will be better at this. I think eventually the LLM will just handle the human interaction and behind it will be a host of more specialised models to provide the actual content. For stuff like reasoning, knowledge, calculation etc.
