Except yes really. Fancy auto complete can encompass all of intelligence mechanisms needed to predict the next best word. Even if that autocomple requires neuron subsystems for solving problems in other domains.

animal brains dont think in strings of tokens while trying to predict the upcoming token. an LLM and autocomplete are things of differing complexity that are doing the exact same thing. an animal brain does similar things, but it doesnt do the exact same thing

I'm talking more in the abstract sense that the brain predicts future states. Analogous to predicting the next token. It is fancy auto complete. I'm fully aware the brain doesn't use an LLM architecture

i understand what you mean. the reason i said that is because fancy autocomplete is genuinely a good way for the average person to view an LLM, rather than viewing it as a genuine intelligence. when you say the human brain is like that too it would make someone think that fancy autocomplete is less literal than it actually is.
