Funny, I feel the same way about humans.

Whenever I see someone confidently making a comparison between LLMs and people, I assume they are unserious individuals more interested in maintaining hype around technology than they are in actually discussing what it does.

Someone saying "they feel" something is not a confident remark.

Also, there's plenty of neuroscience that is produced by very serious researchers that have no problems making comparisons between human brain function and statistical models.

Theories and approaches to study are not rational bases for making comparisons between LLMs and the human brain.

They're bases for studying the human brain - something which we are very much in our infancy of understanding.
