And what you think of as a human being is just a giant haphazardly assembled confederation of cells with no originating principal apart from self-replication.

A flower too is a haphazardly assembled confederation then, but it has traits we think are fascinating. We simply have more of them. Much.. more.

My point is that everything you think is special about humans fell out of nothing but descent with modification. Meanwhile, LLMs have actually had facility with language designed into them. It should not be a surprise for LLMs to acquire some abilities with which they were not intentionally endowed, since we have, and the LLMs were intentionally endowed with so much more. And in fact, they already have acquired some abilities with which they were not intentionally endowed.
