I don’t know why the sky is blue. Someone once tried to explain it to me and I didn’t quite understand it. What does it make me? Many of my answers - including most of this one - are regurgitation of information I learned previously. Many, if not most people just follow established patterns when communicating, with no deep understanding involved. Even that deep understanding is also pattern matching, where patterns are simply more complex. You can easily find examples of an ML model performing multi step reasoning to answer a complex question, just like a human would. I can google those examples for you if you like.
