We don't know. It may turn out that we use mechanisms similar to LLMs, or it might be something entirely different.

As for the rest: nobody knows how to make ChatGPT butter a piece of toast, let alone drive a car.

ChatGPT does not reason about text, either.

There is plenty of research on LLMs successfully piloting robots.

It's but no means a solved problem but "Nobody knows how" is a stretch.
