They do learn in context, and very sample efficiently. Continual learning is active area of research and we sort of already have something resembling it with persistent context. So yes they do learn.

I consider that to be the illusion of learning. You are not wrong, I think they may actually learn in the future though. But not today.

[aspenmartin]

That’s strange to me, what would you define as learning?

[FromTheFirstIn]

To acquire new knowledge and build your understanding. They don’t understand so they can’t learn

Thank you for saying succinctly what I could not. If your consciousness and knowledge fundamentally does not change from your ongoing experience, then you are not learning. This is how the LLM currently functions.
