Sounds like an implementation detail. Now describe how human reasoning works and explain why that process of chemical and electrical signals results in "reasoning" whereas what LLMs do isn't.

The problem with being this reductive is you can do it to anything, including humans. You can’t be reductive about LLMs and refuse to be reductive about humans - that's poor reasoning, and an LLM would out-reason you on this point, further negating your case.
