There are experiments that show that you are trying to predict what happens next (this also gets into a theory of humor - its the brain's reaction when the 'what next' is subverted in an unexpected way)

Maybe. Point being that since we don't know what gives rise to consciousness, speaking with any certainty on how we are different to LLMs is pretty meaningless.
We don't even know of any way to tell if we have existence in time, or just an illusion of it provided by a sense of past memories provided by our current context.
As such the constant stream of confident statements about what LLMs can and cannot possibly do based on assumptions about how we are different are getting very tiresome, because they are pure guesswork.
