Thinking in ranges

Is it possible to literally be a GTO machine? To really think in ranges fast enough to narrow the possible opponent hands in their bluff and value ranges and all of it would be contained in your head in a table like the one you get in starting preflop charts?

Just curious, haven't seen a poker pro, who would actually describe HOW he/she thinks, in what terms, what do they imagine in their head, what are they operating with in their head.

Does anyone know that? Or anyone think exactly in ranges, i.e. in tables?

What usually happens is that these players have done enough studying off the table that they know what to do.
They don’t analyze the spot in the moment, they know what to do on that board in those positions. Because they studied it.

It’s mainly turn onwards that analyzing in the moment is happening more.

General ideas:
How well do all cards interact with my range? So how often do I bet? Which range from opponent are we Targetting? Then we do this betsize.

you can do it qualitatively, Meaning instead of thinking villain has in numbers of combos/percentages you can just try to figure out the different hand classes in villain's range and decide which are more common (ex: villain has a lot of underpairs here and not alot of top pair etc)
