Current LLMs do not think. Just because all models anthropomorphize the repetitive actions a model is looping through does not mean they are truly thinking or reasoning.

On the flip side the idea of this being true has been a very successful indirect marketing campaign.

What does “truly thinking or reasoning” even mean for you?

I don’t think we even have a coherent definition of human intelligence, let alone of non-human ones.

Everyone knows to really think you need to use your fleshy meat brain, everything else is cheating.

Oh, yes. The trope of "but what does it even mean to think".

If you can't speak, can you think? Yes. Large Language model. Thinking is not predicated on language.

A few good starts for you. Please refute all of these arguments in your spare time to convince me otherwise:
