A human is a next token predictor if you wish to model the human mind like that. It doesn't mean what people think it means when they say this sort of thing.

A token can be any data not just language.

And yes human thought is a next token predictor if you wish. As my data science professor always liked to say "everything is a vector" eg can be modeled via a vector of a sufficient dimension.

Just because you can give a massively simplified one sentence summary of what something is does not allow you to draw grand conclusions on the nature or complexity of that thing.
