>AlphaZero isn’t a LLM. There are Feed Forward networks, recurrent networks, convolutional networks, transformer networks, generative adversarial networks.

That's irrelevant though, since all the above are still prediction machines based on weights.

If you're ok with the brain being that, then you just changed the architecture (from LLM-like), not the concept.

That's a different statement, yes brains and LLMs are both neural networks.

An LLM is a specific neural architectural structure and training process. Brains are also neural networks, but they are otherwise nothing at all like LLMs and don't function the ways LLMs do architecturally other than being neural networks.
