> In contrast, human thinking doesn’t involve picking a word at a time based on the words that came before. More to the point, human thinking isn't just outputting text by following an algorithm. Humans understand what each of those words actually mean, what they represent, and what it means when those words are put together in a given order. An LLM can regurgitate the wikipedia article on a plum. A human actually knows what a plum is and what it tastes like. That's why humans know that glue isn't a pizza topping and AI doesn't.
