This is very interesting research and a great write up.

I just want to nitpick something that really annoys me that has become extremely common: the tendency to take every opportunity to liken all qualities of LLMs to humans. Every quirk, failure, oddity, limitation, or implementation detail is relentlessly anthropomorphized. It's to the point where many enthusiasts have convinced themselves that humans think by predicting the next token.

It feels a bit like a cult.

Personally, I appreciate more sobriety in tech, but I can accept that I'm in the minority in that regard.
