This is literally how human brains work: https://www.npr.org/2010/05/19/126977945/bet-you-didnt-notic...
Given I knew what the test was before seeing one of these videos (yes, there is more than one), I find it extra weird that I still didn't see the gorilla the first time. Now, I see it every time.

There actually is an episode of TNG similar to that. The society stopped being able to think for themselves, because the AI did all their thinking for them. Anything the AI didn’t know how to do, they didn’t know how to do. It was in season 1 or season 2.
I pasted your comment into mistral small latest, google, gpt 4o and gpt 4o with search. They all have a different answe, only the last gave a real episode but it said 11001001 in season 1. It said episode 15, it’s actually 14. But even that seems wrong. Are they censored from showing this cautionary tale?? Hah.

This is a serious spoiler, perhaps delete your comment and rephrase it?

The Machine Stops also touches on a lot of these ideas and was written in 1909! -- "The story describes a world in which most of the human population has lost the ability to live on the surface of the Earth. Each individual now lives in isolation below ground in a standard room, with all bodily and spiritual needs met by the omnipotent, global Machine. Travel is permitted but is unpopular and rarely necessary. Commun…
This could serve as a subplot for a sci-fi story: alien are trying for decades to contact by sending out encoded messages. Because the first sentinels are powerful AI, and only analyzed the data pattern, humanity was ignorant of the messages for decades. Until one day, a young astronomer played with the data and asked the AI to plot and visualize in many different ways, just for fun and suddenly realized the hidden i…

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine.

Machine: Ok.
Human: HOW COULD YOU DO THISSSS

I don't know why you would expect it to see a gorilla without an image to look at. Humans can't.
Without an image? No, not at all. It's supposed to make its own image. And it did make its own image. But it didn't properly analyze the image it made.

Most human self-reflection and to an extent even memory is similarly post-facto, however.
Humans do tend to remember thoughts they had while speaking, thoughts that go beyond what they said. LLMs don’t have any memory of their internal states beyond what they output. (Of course, chain-of-thought architectures can hide part of the output from the user, and you could declare that as internal processes that the LLM does “remember” in the further course if the chat.)
In any case the end result is the same. You can only infer from what was generated
