Again, I agree. Cognition is way too vague a term.
You're actually making the argument FOR what I'm saying.
From what I can see, Buzsáki says "cognition" is bad for neuroscience BECAUSE it's philosophically loaded.
Doesn't that reinforce my point that it's good for LLM engineering PRECISELY because it's philosophically loaded?
Basically, if cognition is philosophically inherited then maybe that's why it's working for LLMs with Plato's model. Because training corpora are philosophy-heavy?
No, it's folk science. It isn't vague, it's an illusion. Cognition is false on all counts because it's folk science impregnating science and CS (and philosophy). Read his argument carefully, don't just select a downstream argument, that's not scientifically viable. Cognition doesn't exist because it's based in the lowest res meaning possible. Sequestered cause/effect, it's a magic trick. Like LLMs.
