It isn’t clear though. Neural networks were inspired by the brain, but transformers? It is totally plausible but do we really think just in words?

I find that proposition totally implausible. Some people certainly report only thinking in words & having a continuous inner monologue, but I'm not one of them. I think, then I describe my thoughts in words if I'm speaking or writing or thinking about speaking or writing.
