They both affect the weather, but in a totally different way, and by completely different means. Similarly the mechanisms in which the human brain produces output is completely different from the mechanism in which an LLM produces output.

What I am trying to say is that the intrinsic properties of the brain and an LLM are completely different, even though the extrinsic properties might appear the same. This is also true of the wind and the sunshine. It is not unreasonable to (though I would disagree) that “cognition” is almost the definition of the sum of all intrinsic properties of the human mind (I would disagree only on the merit of animal and plant cognition existing and the former [probably] having similar intrinsic properties as human cognition).





Artificial cognition has been an established term long before LLMs. You're conflating human cognition with cognition at large. Weather and cognition are both categories that contain many different things.
