No, the burden of proof is on you to deliver. You are the claimant, you provide the proof. You made a drive-by assertion with no evidence or even arguments.
I also do not accept your assertion, at all. Humans largely function on the basis of desire-fulfilment, be that eating, fucking, seeking safety, gaining power, or any of the other myriad human activities. Our brains, and the brains of all the animals before us, have evolved for that purpose. For evidence, start with Skinner or the millions of behavioral analysis studies done in that field.
Our thoughts lend themselves to those activities. They arise from desire. Transformers have nothing to do with human cognition because they do not contain the basic chemical building blocks that precede and give rise to human cognition. They are, in fact, stochastic parrots, that can fool others, like yourself, into believing they are somehow thinking.

If anything, your citation 1, along with subsequent fMRI studies, backs up my point. We literally don't know what we're going to do next. Is that a hallmark of cognition in your book? The rest are simply irrelevant.

What makes you think you're not arguing with one now?
You are not making an argument, you are just making assertions without evidence and then telling us the burden of proof is on us to tell you why not.
If you went walking down the streets yelling the world is run by a secret cabal of reptile-people without evidence, you would rightfully be declared insane.
Our feelings and desires largely determine the content of our thoughts and actions. LLMs do not function as such.
Whether I am arguing with a parrot or not has nothing to do with cognition. A parrot being able to usefully fool a human has nothing to do with cognition.
