Yes we have more than just that one mechanism at work obviously, but that's not to say we're not using the same or similar method as part of our learning process.

You seem to have entirely ignored the gist of my first point. We may be using a more well rounded method which utilises the same technique LLMs use as a part of our overall learning ability.

If all you did was copy and paste from GNU GPL code, then your output would also be bound by the same license.

We're back to the same argument that's been around since the start of the current AI boom, about whether or not people produce art and everything else the same way. At this point it's very obviously a philosophical argument in general, and from your other comments in this post you've offered nothing but semantics as to how they're different. We're going to have to agree to disagree there.

Then you don't understand even the basics of the mathematics that makes them actually work.

I understand how LLMs work. We DON'T understand how humans work, and unless you've got a human theory of mind in your back pocket, insisting that they're inherently different instead of possibly being part of our mental toolkit is premature.
