Ask HN: Is AI converging on human-like cognition?
It seems every day I see another aspect of the human mind implemented in a very primitive form of course.

For example, chain of thought (CoT) can be thought of as the beginning of the internal monologue that you and I have and DeepSeek's CoT reads very similar to how one would think about a problem. Did nature also figure out the same solution? and was consciousness born out of something similar to CoT?

Another example I was reading about today is Mixture of Experts (MoE) where we have a router that dispatches tokens to subnetworks that specialize in certain domains. If this technique were to develop further would that lead to something like human hub personalities?

I may very well be finding patterns where none exist and these may be nothing more than metaphors at best. I have a very crude understanding of AI that's why I'm asking here hoping to get an expert's opinion.
