I don’t really find that argument useful. It reads to me the same as saying “You can’t make machines fly”. Airplanes and bees both fly, though the mechanisms are completely different.

Even taking the strongest anti-AI position, I think it’s great that LLMs are a real-world example of the Chinese Room thought experiment. Sure, they don’t think like humans, but why exactly? How can we define a better term to delineate the difference?
