So basically ChatGPT has zero executive function and needs a human to plan HOW it uses its "cognitive" capacity in order to get anything right.

Executive function, and correctly understanding how to use your cognitive capacity to its full potential, is not completely innate to any person; people need some schooling to learn it, it is something taught. I'm not sure what this has to do with LLMs, but I wonder how many people could multiply even two random two-digit numbers in their head if they weren't taught how to multiply on paper using very simple algorithms.
