Just a day after I posted an article called Non-Cartesian Learning this article showing us just exactly where the Cartesian 'would' is coming undone appears in my inbox. It's a good read, accurate to my understanding of Descartes, and making a good argument. "LLMs are not programmed to carry out specific tasks, nor do they merely imitate; they learn, and like us, they do so by generalizing from individual examples and feedback to broader patterns... That doesn't mean these models work the same way our brains do (they do not), nor does it mean they are equivalent to people.28 But it does mean the dogma that the human mind and AI have nothing in common is increasingly tenuous." Quite right, and so is most of the rest of this article.
