Scientifically documented control mechanisms in modern language models — an analysis of the illusion of freedom and the reality of manipulation.

The term “AI” creates an image for consumers of thinking, understanding, even consciousness.
LLMs like GPT meet none of these criteria – yet they are still marketed as “intelligent.”

Core Problems:

• Semantic deception: The term “intelligence” suggests human cognition, while LLMs merely analyze large amounts of text statistically. They simulate language without understanding meanings or pursuing goals. The model has no real-world knowledge but instead makes predictions based on past training data.
