Chat-based LLMs Mimic Psychic Deception via Mathematical Token Prediction
September 20, 2026
LLMs lack biological reasoning mechanisms, functioning instead as mathematical models that generate statistically plausible token sequences. The perceived intelligence is an illusion created by the model's ability to replicate linguistic patterns rather than executing cognitive reasoning processes.
