> LLMs can certainly mimic that quite effectively, but they can’t exceed it. I think that’s why LLM writing still never quite hits the mark. It’s the right shape, but it’s missing intent. The words were not chosen to represent real thoughts in someone’s mind.

Well yeah. That's because they aren't actually intelligent. They can be useful in the right circumstances despite that, but it's very important to remember that LLMs categorically cannot think, know things, or reason. They are a statistical model, that's it.

The brain is also a statistical model. In fact, the entire universe is. Good luck!
