Do you have any evidence that human cognition (for speaking) is more than just an ability to string sentences together? Do you have any evidence that LLMs don't reason at all?

A perfect machine designed to only string sentences together as perfect responses with no reasoning built it IS Indistinguishable from a machine that only builds sentences from pure reasoning.

Either way nobody understands what's going on in the human brain and nobody understands why LLMs work. You don't know. You're just stating a belief.
