We are living a grand illusion. As we watch Large Language Models (LLMs) draft essays, write functional code, and converse with poetic nuance, we operate under a quiet, dangerous assumption: that if we just stack enough parameters, compute cycles, and training text high enough, true understanding and intent will eventually spark at the top.
