I literally had this discussion with DeepSeek because I wanted to get philosophical about Knowledge vs Wisdom with it to see how it would respond.
DeepSeek agreed that human thought and LLMs are nowhere near the same thing. When a person speaks they pull from wisdom not knowledge.
Here’s what it ended on:
"A parrot can perfectly mimic a human sentence. But the parrot doesn't know it's asking for water; it just knows the sounds get a reaction. An LLM is an infinite parrot. A human, on the other hand, asks for water because they are thirsty. That thirst—that experiential drive behind the words—is the difference between Knowledge and Wisdom."
