So are people. People are trained on existing data and learn to reproduce known solutions. They also take this to the meta level—a scientist or engineer is trained on methods for approaching new problems which have yielded success in the past. AI does this too. I’m not sure there is actually a distinction here..
Of course there is. Humans can pattern match as a means to save time. LLM pattern match as the only mode of communication and “thought”.
Humans are also not as susceptible to context poisoning, unlike llms.
