One big difference is that at least some people have a healthy sense for when they may be wrong. This sort of meta-cognitive introspection is currently not possible for an LLM. For instance, let's say I asked someone "do you know the first 10 elements of the periodic table of elements?" Most people would be able to accurately say "honestly I'm not sure what comes after Helium." But an LLM will just make up some bullshit, at least some of the time.
