It is a logic error to think that knowing how something works means you are justified to say it can't possess qualities like intelligence or ability to reason when we don't even understand how these qualities arise in humans. And even if we do know enough about our brains to say conclusively that it's not how LLMs work (predictive coding suggests the principles are more alike that not), it doesn't mean they're not reasoning or intelligent; it would just mean they would not be reasoning/intelligent like humans.
