From Skinner's perspective, given his lack of interest in internal states, it would be seen in responses that are coherent despite variations in stimuli.

For example, I could have a hundred different people ask you where you're from. Ask you in many different ways with many different setups, affects, hints. For most people, there will be consistencies across the answers that correspond to what we might call "fact", or at least "belief". But the LLMs, being fancy autocomplete, will produce things that are only textually plausible, showing much shallower consistency, and more relationship with their prompts.

And that's just in the question and answer space. It becomes even more obvious when we do things that involve real-world objects, physical behavior, etc.
