I'm also intrigued by the use of "human" in contrast with "LLM" in this passage. I've been trying to work out why "human" used in this way is so icky to me, and I think it is in part because it is the form we use in the "human vs. machine" dichotomy.
That dichotomy minimizes what it is to be human in an effort to raise machines up as comparable to actual people.
