    Honestly I’d kind of like that in some ways. Language is actually pretty limiting, so not being stuck with it for thinking would make some thoughts easier to convey to yourself.

      I don’t think it’s limited like that. While I usually think in sentences, it also happens that I get ideas that I either can’t express in words or it happens so fast that I don’t bother trying to think it through in sentences.

      Try to think of a house and notice how you don’t need to describe it in any detail to instantly visualise how you think a house looks.

      It’ll be interesting to hear what they find in the ongoing research, but it’s already clear that the brain is not just a large language model.

        I can’t see a house. If i have a specific description and try really hard i might get kind of a wire frame outline of something.
