Key points
- The hippocampus enables abstract reasoning; LLMs mirror this through pattern-based language prediction.
- Future AI could emulate human inference by integrating multimodal learning and reinforcement methods.
- AI’s evolution hinges on bridging prediction and reasoning, moving toward deeper, human-like understanding.
“Can LLMs think like us?”
No.
"Can LLMs think—?”
No.
“Can LLMs—?”
No.
No
Facts, reasoning, ethics, ect. are outside the scope of an LLM. Expecting otherwise is like expecting a stand mixer to bake a cake. It is helpful for a decent part of the process, but typically is lacking in the using heat to process batter into a tasty desert area. An AI like one from the movies would require many more pieces than an LLM can provide and saying otherwise is a a category mistake*.
That isn’t to say that something won’t be developed eventually, but it would be FAR beyond an LLM if it is even possible.

Not like us, but maybe like OP 🤣
“Can LLMs Think ?” YES “Like Us ?” NO … not right now anyway.
The fear in here is palpable.
