There's nothing similar about LLMs and human brains. Theyre entirely divergent. Training a machine has nothing remotely to do with biological development.

They perform incredibly similar functions. Thus, "functionally similar".
There’s no functional similarity in the slightest. Notice you can’t cite examples.
Hard metrics: LLMs perform NLP, NLU and CSR tasks at humanlike levels.
Research findings: LLMs have and use world models. They use some type of abstract thinking - with internal representation that often correspond to human abstract concepts. Which adds up to a capability profile that's amusingly humanlike.
Humans, however, don't like that. They really don't. AI effect is too strong, and it demands that humans must be Special. So some humans, when faced with the possibility that an AI might be doing the same thing their own brains do, resort to coping and seething.
