monsieur, what good is a new-born baby?

LLMs are not intellence. They are not AGI. They do not have the reasoning skills of a baby. This is not something they will "grow into". No amount of additional training data in the world will turn LLMs into AGI. Any argument to the contrary is pure, 100% copium to justify the hundreds of billions of dollars industry has poured into this technology.
hot air balloons aren't birds either, monsieur
That analogy still doesn't mean LLMs are a form of intelligence with reasoning capability.
it also doesn't mean sulfur is a metal
If and when you try to derive logic from the statistical model that is an LLM, you will face the same problem that Bertrand Russel did.

Good luck.
