Ok, so we've established that it doesn't work like a human being. To paraphrase Dijkstra: The submarine doesn't swim.

But does it exactly sail either? An LLM doesn't exactly work like traditional deterministic software either, does it?

And yet it moves. You can put in data and ask it to process it, and you'll get an answer that's in some ballpark. Closer to quantum or stochastic computing perhaps, but that's not it either, is it? Or SAT-solving? Eh. It's its own computing approach. If you have a problem where the asking is hard but the verification is cheap, it might just be the right tool for the job.
