OK, let's talk about 3 important concepts:
ANNs, LLMs, & AI: "Definitions of AI and LLM are hard to pin down [&] ANN is an umbrella term for models"
Black box: Really not what people think because actually you can open it (read on in the PDF to find out) by design!
Leibniz' Mill: "argument against the idea that mechanical components suffice to understand cognition"
All are important & misused (1st 2) or forgotten about (last) to pretend we don't understand AI.

(Lil peek ahead to appreciate the pun this enables in section 4 (see screenshot)! Right, back on track: before we use those 3 to tease apart what's going on, however, we have to contend with where we are. In 2010s we actually did avoid these traps, yes, even industry! “the most extreme promises of AI are based on a flawed premise: that we understand human intelligence” https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20071869 5/
