Hard metrics: LLMs perform NLP, NLU and CSR tasks at humanlike levels.

Research findings: LLMs have and use world models. They use some type of abstract thinking - with internal representation that often correspond to human abstract concepts. Which adds up to a capability profile that's amusingly humanlike.

Humans, however, don't like that. They really don't. AI effect is too strong, and it demands that humans must be Special. So some humans, when faced with the possibility that an AI might be doing the same thing their own brains do, resort to coping and seething.
