> People just really don't understand that LLMs do not "remember" anything.

Sure, but like you said, the LLM is just one part of the AI system. The occipital lobe of your brain helps out with vision but doesn't help with your ability to verbalize.

And then they explained in detail why these supplementary systems fall below memory. Would you like to address that argument? If not your quick response to the first sentence is not very useful.

It’s just as useful as this response only at least somewhat good natured.

		I'm aware that meta criticism like yours and mine also wastes space. But it's worth calling out issues sometimes. Replying to the first sentence in a way that the rest of the post already address is a bad comment no matter how good natured. And downvoting without explaining the problem is often its own issue.

You're anthropomorphizing the LLMs, just like most writing from non-technical press, including this article, does.

LLMs do not function very much like human brains, and when you try to map the pieces of an inference system on to human cognitive systems, you're misleading yourself (and maybe others).

		An AI as a system can have memory even if some sub-system does not.
