It behaves just fine.

Congratulations, you've just defined extrapolation. Someone is definitely confused here but it isn't me.

Of course you can make any claim about what something can or can't do when you make up your definitions.

There are many many clear examples of a language model extrapolating. Rather than accept this, you've opted to conjuring up vague and meaningless definitions and distinctions on the fly.

This is so simple to see. Untestable Definitions are meaningless. Please give us a test of "extrapolation" that all humans can perform and let's see how the Language Model does. You won't be able to but by all means, give it a go.

>Extrapolation takes the new regime and data and your existing training and adapts a new behavior.

Great and Language Models do this.
