I mean, in other words, there's a certain amount that is the endocrine system kicking in and these kinds of emotional overlay type things that happen to be, that are actually much more physical even, they're much more sort of straightforwardly chemical,
than kind of all of the higher level thinking.
No, that's a, well, but the, you know.
Yes.
But I mean, the intrinsic thing of something sort of shocking is just happening, and you have some sort of reaction, which is some neurotransmitter gets secreted, and that is the beginning of some... That's one of the pieces of input that then drives.
It's kind of like a prompt that
For the large language model, I mean, just like when we dream, for example, no doubt there are all these sort of random inputs, they're kind of these random prompts, and then it's percolating through in kind of the way that a large language model does of kind of putting together things that seem meaningful.
