> Isn't it strange that we expect them to act like humans even though after a model was trained it remains static?

An LLM is more akin to interacting with a quirky human that has anterograde amnesia because it can't form long-term memories anymore, it can only follow you in a long-ish conversation.

If we could reset a human to a prior state after a conversation then would conversations with them not still be "human like"?

I'm not arguing that LLMs are human here, just that your reasoning doesn't make sense.

Henry Molaison was exactly this.

I mean you can continue to evolve the model weights but the performance would suck so we don't do it. Models are built to an optimal state for a general set of benchmarks, and weights are frozen in that state.
