I'm pretty sure they're trying to suggest that LLMs in general are not useful because they can't do this type of thing. It's just the next iteration of goal post moving and should effectively be ignored.

Many artists and such that I've spoken to about AI work have similar comments about these systems because of the disdain for their existence.

The number of times I hear an argument like "well, they can never taste the tartness of a kiwi and feel the heat of the sun while at the beach" gets quite exhausting. For some reason, many people have this weird notion that this is what AGI means - exactly what humans do, and specifically within the same data domains of humans, but they don't consider working solely outside those domains as a possibility for AGI.

Just wait as the multimodal LLM’s roll out! People will be shoving kiwis into their computer and taking their laptops out for a few rays before you know it.
