To me this is further evidence that these LLMs learn only to speak English, but there is no reasoning at all in them. If you simplify a lot and obtain the same results and we know how complex the brain is.

Every LLM expert on the planet agrees LLMs are doing "reasoning". No one says they have feelings or qualia, but we all know there's definitely genuinely artificial reasoning happening.
What LLMs have shown both Neuroscience and Computer Science is that reasoning is a mechanical process (or can be simulated by mechanical processes) and is not purely associated only with consciousness.
I'm not sure that's true at all. There are several well known researchers that say LLMs are in fact not doing reasoning.
Those are all the people that have not yet decoupled "reasoning" from "consciousness" in their own way of thinking. It's admittedly hyperbolic to say "everyone". I love hyperbole on HN. :)
