Specifically, which portions of the brain are “very specialized”? I’m not aware of any aspect of the brain that’s as narrowly applied to tasks as the tools LLMs use. For example, there’s no coding module within the brain - the same brain regions you use when programming could be used to perform many, many other tasks.
Broca's area, Wernicke's area, visual and occipital cortices (the latter of which, if damage occurs, can cause loss of sight).
Most people with aphasia can still swear because it's handled by the reptilian part of the brain. ahaha
Are you able to point to a coding module in an LLM?
