No it doesn't, because you can break down how they "learn" and generate output from their models, and thought or intelligence doesn't occur at any step of it.

It's like the first chess computer, which was actually a small guy hiding under the table. If you just show that to someone who treats it as a black box, sure, you might wonder if this machine understands chess. But if you put a little guy in there, you know for a fact that it doesn't.

No you can't break it down. The experts don't fully understand the high level implications of an LLM. This is definitive. We have no theoretical modelling of what LLMs will output. We can't predict it at all, therefore we do not fully understand LLMs from a high level.
