As below, stop with the analogies. No, that’s not “the chaotic best guess flow of a human mind”, that’s a whole bunch of tensor math generating likely chains of tokens. Those two things aren’t the same thing.
They aren’t the same thing in the strict sense, but they’re also not the same thing in practical terms at the end user level. If I ask a friend if they remember some half-forgotten factoid they can tell me not just if they do remember, but also how well they remember, how sure they are and why they know it. No LLM can do that, because LLMs know as little about themselves as about anything else. Which is nothing, because they’re LLMs, not people.
