I kind of started this thread but didn't have the energy to argue about it. You provided the exact argument I wanted, thanks for that. This is exactly the reason why I am adamant that LLMs are not intelligence.

They do this really impressive stuff like generate code and hold conversations that makes them seem intelligent, but then they fail at these extremely basic tasks which, to me, proves that it's all an illusion.

It doesn't understand the instructions you give it, it doesn't even understand the answer it gives you. It just consumes and generates tokens. Sure it works pretty well and it's pretty cool stuff, but it's not AI.
