"Don't anthropomorphize token predictors" is a reasonable take assuming you have demonstrated that humans are not in fact just SOTA token predictors. But AFAIK that hasn't been demonstrated.

Until we have a much more sophisticated understanding of human intelligence and consciousness, any claim of "these aren't like us" is either premature or spurious.

I expected to find the link to https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.10987 (which is much better imo)
