Abstract
It is widely believed that the human mind and the vast arrays of equations underlying modern AI have little in common. I challenge this notion by demonstrating that large language models (LLMs) exhibit unexpected emergent properties that parallel aspects of human cognition. Essentially, LLMs may not merely model the language but also the mental processes that generate it. I will discuss LLMs’ performance on tasks typically used to study mental processes in humans and explore several possible interpretations of these findings.
