It’s a statistical database of corpuses, not a logic engine.
Stop treating LLMs like they are capable of logic, reasoning or judgement. They are not, they never will be.
The extent to which they can recall and remix human words to replicate the intent behind those words is an incredible facsimile to thought. It’s nothing short of a mathematical masterpiece. But it’s not intelligence.
If it were communicating it’s results in any less human of an interface than conversational, I truly feel that most people would not be so easily fooled into believing it was capable of logic.
This doesn’t mean that a facsimile of logic like this has no use. Of course it does, we have seen many uses - some incredible, some dangerous and some pointless - but it is important to always know that there is no thought happening behind the facade. Only a replication of statistically similar communication of thought that may or may not actually apply to your prompt.
