Response to "On Analogy-Making in Large Language Models"

My first post on this blog was a perspective on a very interesting paper by Webb et al., “Emergent Analogical Reasoning in Large Language Models”. Taylor Webb, the first author of that paper, responded by email to my perspective, and he gave me permission to post his response on this blog. Here is Taylor’s thoughtful response, which is well worth reading. I will make a few comments at the end.
