I think it's more accurate to say that the fundamental differences (between LLM's and humans) are abundantly clear and what we haven't really got a handle on are the similarities. Why is it that an LLM's can so convincingly mimic some things that humans do? Of course the fact that we don't really understand how humans do it in the first place is a real barrier. Perhaps looking at the intersection will shed some light on how humans work.
