Futrell and Mahowald claim LMs "serve as model systems", but an assessment at each of Marr's three levels suggests the claim is clearly not true at the implementation level, poorly motivated at the algorithmic-representational level, and problematic at the computational theory level. LMs are good candidates as tools; calling them cognitive models overstates the case and unnecessarily feeds LLM hype.

翻译：Futrell 和 Mahowald 声称语言模型“可作为模型系统”，但在 Marr 三个层面的逐一评估表明：该主张在实现层面显然不成立，在算法-表征层面依据不足，在计算理论层面也存在问题。语言模型是优秀的工具候选者；将其称为认知模型则言过其实，且不必要地助长了大型语言模型的炒作。
