I'd represent the same idea but in a different way:

I don't know what the exact definition of "thinking" is. But if a definition of thinking rejects the possibility of that current LLMs think, I'd consider that definition useless.

Why would it be useless?

Generally thinking has been used to describe the process human follow in their brains when problem solving.

If the Palms do not follow that process, they are not thinking.

That doesn't mean they cannot solve problems using other mechanisms, they do, and we understand those mechanisms much better than we do human thinking.
