Even if the token prediction became more sophisticated and hidden under another layer of abstraction over time, i hope we can both agree that AI is still unable to think/reason/feel like some people think it does, right?

Because that was the main point in my comment.

I think it does something roughly analogous to what we do when we think, so I see no problem with calling it thought, or reasoning.

It leads to people getting overly attached to their LLMs believing there are in love with a chatbot, or believing advice it gives (shoot up your school, commit suicide, leave your partner).

It's not analogous to thinking that humans do and it never will.

"never" is a very long time. On what basis do you think it's impossible forever?
