My favourite way of thinking about this is by going back to the End Poem at the end of Minecraft. The fact that words are an "interface", "very flexible" and "less terrifying than staring at the reality beyond the screen".

Maybe that reality is the true understanding of the neurobiology that defines our thoughts. To be reminded that the magic of experience can be reduced to neuronic hallucination is, frankly, horrifying. Maybe we dislike LLMs because we see their vectors and numbers as crude reminders of our own intellectual banality.

Or maybe I'm just feeling hungry and should really go eat dinner.
