The straw I’m grasping at in this example is a reasonably well-accepted scientific consensus, but you do you.

Our microorganism ancestors also did all those things, and they were far beyond anything an LLM can do. Turning a given list of words into numbers, doing a string of math to those numbers, and turning the resulting numbers back into words is not consciousness or wisdom and never will be.

LLMs are not children. Children can have experiences, learn things, know things, and grow. Spicy autocomplete will never actually do any of these things.
