Some people are incapable of internal thought. They have to verbalise/write down their thoughts, so they can hear/read it back, and that's how they make progress. In a way, these people's brain do work like LLMs.

There is no evidence whatsoever that having or not having inner monologue confers any advantages or disadvantages.

For all we know, it's just two paths the brain can take to arrive at the same destination.
