The article above doesn't read well, at all.

It's not my subject, but it reads as a list of things. There's little exposition.

Gawd Damn LISTICLES!!!! And all of those articles that list in bullet points at the top of the article the summary of the article. And all of those people saying they don't want to read exposition, just give me the bullet points.

Exactly. LLM's are mimics.

People seem to be going around pointing out that people talk like parrots, when in reality it's parrots talk like people.

I mean, it's both.

Did you develop your own whole language at any point to describe the entire world? No, you, me, and society mimic what is around us.

Humans have the advantage, at least at this point, of being a continuous learning device so we adapt and change with the language use around us.
