> The non sequitur is in assuming that somehow the mechanism of operation dictates the output, which isn't necessarily true.

Where does the output come from if not the mechanism?

So you agree humans can't really think because it's all just electrical impulses?

Human "thought" is the way it is because "electrical impulses" (wildly inaccurate description of how the brain works, but I'll let it pass for the sake of the argument) implement it. They are its mechanism. LLMs are not implemented like a human brain, so if they do have anything similar to "thought", it's a qualitatively different thing, since the mechanism is different.
