and if it is a sufficiently accurate next word predictor then it may accurately predict what an agent with socio-emotional skills would use as their next word in which case it will have exhibited socio-emotional skill.
Consider whether it is possible to complete sentences about the world coherently in a human like way without knowing or thinking about the world.
You're saying "next word predictor" as if it's some kind of gotcha.
You're typing on a keyboard, which means you're nothing but a "next keypress predictor". This says very little about how intelligent are you.
not my only trick is it though. human brain engages in all sorts of cognitive enterprises, language formation being just one of them. LLMS are essentially statistical predictors - which is indeed part of what a human brain does but only a small slither of its abilities.
And why does it matter?
For all I know, humans are "essentially statistical predictors" too - and all of their insistence on being something greater than that is anthropocentric copium.
