The fact that things are constructed by neurons in the brain, and are a representation of other things - does not preclude your representation from being deeper and richer than LLM representations.

The patterns in experience are reduced to some dimensions in an LLM (or generative model). They do not capture all the dimensions - because the representation itself is a capture of another representation.

Personally, I have no need to reassure myself whether I am a special snowflake or not.

Whatever snowflake I am, I strongly prefer accuracy in my analogies of technology. GenAI does not capture a model of the world, it captures a model of the training data.

If video tools were that good, they would have started with voxels.
