Yes. We do. Significantly more. It’s our only power. We aren’t stronger or faster or more vicious, we cannot fly or breed dozens of humans at a time or puke honey. We can’t swim the ocean depths or swing through the trees.
But we sure can think, understand and create. For better or worse.
I’m all for not underestimating animals. They are sentient like us.
But not at the cost of dismissing the human animal.
We're also pretty good long-distance runners.
IIRC we actually smell as well as dogs too, if we get down to floor level.
There's no reason to think an LLM would not work for a monkey. Even if it is a different structure than how things work in humans a parallel structure could offer more or less the same benefits.
Anyway I buy the whole LLM thing, consider a baby, they can't talk at all and only become coherent when you talk to eachother just about non stop for 2 or 3 years.
I get excited, happy, sad, jealous, proud and a bunch of other stuff just seeing stuff on a screen.
Anyway, what is life’s concrete reason to be? Does everything need one to be considered valid?
