Just because it sounds coherent doesn’t mean it is. You can make up false equivalence for anything if you try hard enough: A sheet of plywood also has many similarities with humans (made from carbon, contain water, break when hit hard enough), but that doesn’t mean they are even remotely equal.
I didn't write they were equal. I wrote they are similar in many ways.
Comparing LLM to humans make much more sense than comparing them to computer programs.
