> The point is that LLMs don't speak / think in English.

They don't think or speak anything at all. They use a statistical model to predict the next most likely token to display in response to a prompt.

Distinction without a difference.

s/speak \/ think/operate/

If that makes you happy.

There is an enormous difference between claiming an LLM can think or use statistics to generate a token. All of the difference.

Irrelevant to the discussion at hand + everyone knows what you mean when you refer to "how an LLM thinks" + prove the difference between one statistical process generating tokens (LLM) and another statistical process generating tokens (human brain) please.
