Isnt that an extension of the same problem though? You probe it to take the statistically most accepted alternative perspectives that exists in its data. Its not intelligent in the sense that it comprehends what you or it are saying, it just follows the weights.

It definitely doesn't just "follow the weights". It can follow instructions that go down paths where there would be no similar training data and no simple completion that could result in that response.

What it does probably isn't "comprehension", but we also have no idea what comprehension is so it's not a very good target.
