Nor can we assume that they cannot have the same emergent properties.

That's not how science works. You are the one claiming it does, you have the burden of proof to prove they have the same properties. Thus far, assuming they don't as they aren't human is the sensible rational route.

Read again. I have made no such claim, I simply scrutinized your assertions that LLMs lack any internal representations, and challenged that assertion with alternative hypotheses. You are the one that made the claim. I am perfectly comfortable with the conclusion that we simply do not know what is going on in LLMs with respect to human-like capabilities of the mind.
