1. humans also understand they constantly modify their model—by perceiving and learning—we just usually don’t use the world ‘changed myself’ in this way 2. yes, the difference in human condition is from shortly after birth we see how our actions change our sensory inputs—ie if I understand correctly we learn even stuff like how our limbs work in this way. LLMs are in a very different situation—like, if you watched thousands of hours of video feeds about e.g. a grouphouse, learning a lot about how the inhabitants work. Than, having dozens of hours of conversations with the inhabitants, but remembering them. Than, watching watching again thousands of hours of video feeds, where suddenly some of the feeds contain the conversations you don’t remember, and the impacts they have on the people.
Mostly yes, although there are some differences.
