> it observes

Observe implies sentience that, without question, a neural net simply does not possess. "It" certainly 'records', or more specifically it 'maps', but there is no observer in sight (npi).

> mimic

LLM's do not mimic. The magic is mathematical and happening in the high dimensional space. If there is intrinsic underlying pattern and semantic affinities between process X (used in training) and process Y (used in application), it is very likely that both share proximity, possibly form, in some dimensions of the high dimensional model.
