What is the difference between attributesToArray() and toArray() in Laravel?

Can someone explain the difference between $model->attributesToArray() and $model->toArray() on a model?

I have an issue where a seeder is throwing an error about getCreatedAtAttribute method is not defined and it's complaining due to a toArray() method call. This is what prompted me to try and find out the difference between the two.

After switching to attributesToArray() the seeder runs fine.

attributesToArray will only fetch the attributes for the current model.

toArray calls the attributesToArray function, but also adds loaded relations to the array.
