That’s an interesting point. Brains and LLMs are certainly very different in their implementation. My argument, though, is less about the implementation itself and more about the fact that both systems are capable of generating and manipulating representations.
LLMs are missing the extracellular matrix (ECM), the twenty-percent by volume scaffolding we (well, mice) have, which contributes to memory:
