Funny, I feel the same way about humans.

  Whenever I see someone confidently making a comparison between LLMs and people, I assume they are unserious individuals more interested in maintaining hype around technology than they are in actually discussing what it does.

    Someone saying "they feel" something is not a confident remark. Also, there's plenty of neuroscience that is produced by very serious researchers that have no problems making comparisons between human brain function and statistical models. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayesian_approaches_to_brain_function https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayesian_approaches_to_brain_f... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predictive_coding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predictive_coding

      Theories and approaches to study are not rational bases for making comparisons between LLMs and the human brain. They're bases for studying the human brain - something which we are very much in our infancy of understanding.
