But the thing LLMs have in common with brains is they process data and produce data that with additional processing a subset of which can be interpreted as words. It is a pretty loose link.

Like saying an aeroplane is like a squirrel because they both perform aerobic respiration.

> As far as anyone can tell, there is virtually no similarity between brains and LLMs. Neural nets were named such because they have connected nodes. And that’s it.
