I was glad to learn a phrase: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Receptive_aphasia , that described my brief experiments with LLMs.

(or language translators: maybe 5 years ago I noticed that translation services, instead of becoming observably poor where they were unsure, as they had been 10 years ago, were providing very fluent "translations" that in some cases asserted the negation of the original text)

Or very bad at detecting what a bad brain sounds like
