i don't think making the same mistakes as a human counts as a feature. I see that a lot when people point out a flaw with an llm, the response is always "well a human would make the same mistake!". That's not much of an excuse, computers exist because they do the things humans can't do very well like following long repetitive lists of instructions. Further, upthread, there's discussion about adding emotions to an llm. An emotional computer that makes mistakes sometimes is pretty worthless as a "computer".
It's not about counting as a feature. It's the blatant logical fallacy. If a trait isn't a reason humans don't have a certain property then it's not a reason for machines either. Can't eat your cake and have it.

Computers exist because they are useful, nothing more and nothing less. If they were useful in a completely different way, they would still exist and be used.
