I glanced at the first paper you cited, and it seems to show a very weak form of the statements you made. AFAICT their results are more like “we found brain areas that light up when the person reads ‘cat’, just like how this part of the neural net lights up when given input ‘cat’” and less like “the LLM is useful for other tasks in the same way as the neural version is useful for other tasks”. Am I confused about what the paper says, and if so, how? What sort of claim are you making?
