"Anthropocentric cope >:(" is one of the funniest things I've read this week, so genuinely thank you for that.

"LLMs think like people do" is the equivalent of flat earth theory or UFO bros.

Flerfers run on ignorance, misunderstanding and oppositional defiant disorder. You can easily prove the earth is round in quite a lot of ways (the Greeks did it) but the flerfers either don't know them or refuse to apply them.

There are quite a lot of reasons to believe brains work differently than LLMs (and ways to prove it) you just don't know them or refuse to believe them.

It's neat tech, and I use them. They're just wayyyyyyyy overhyped and we don't need to anthropomorphize them lol
