reductionist view can be applied to what we call "thinking" and "intelligence" too. When I'm asked a question, my brain is also just picking a suitable sequence of words based on my experience (training). Talking is what we consider part of thinking, something only "intelligent" creatures can do.

Just feels like a lot of coping from people that don't want to let go of our concept of "intelligence superiority" or w/e you want to call it.

The end game of this will be them wild-eyed in front of a string-crossed cork board, claiming they've found the one thing human brains can do that AI can't, so it's not thinking it's just x,y,z.
