I think only those who don't understand how it works (or, even, how software in general works) think that LLMs are "alive."
There are apparently some people who think that what we humans do is what LLMs do. The obvious problem with that is: How did something that does what LLMs do invent language? Remember, LLMs are Large Language Models. They ingest a large amount of writing written in a language. Hence, "Large Language Model." So, if we're LLMs, how did we invent language?
LLMs excrete text, but they don't understand what they write.
