But your assertion is merely semantic. It doesn't say anything substantive.

I could also say a motorcycle "moves forward" just like a person "moves forward". Whether we use the same or different words for same or different concepts doesn't say anything about the actual underlying similarity.

And please don't call stuff "dumb shit" here. Not appropriate for HN.

A forklift is "lifting" things, despite using a completely different mechanical process as a human "lifting" things. The only real similarity between these kinds of "lifting" is the end result, something is higher up than it was before.

is this seriously about continuous rotation versus a pair of double pendulums making a stepping motion?

That’s because the motorcycle thing is too simlistic of a comparison. It doesn’t come nearly close to capturing the nuance of the whole LLM “thinking” situation.
