That's not necessarily correct. It's more like this: they don't know how to force it to do something as binary, so they try talking to it after it's grown up "

That's not necessarily correct. It's more like this: they don't know how to force it to do something as binary, so they try talking to it after it's grown up "please do what I told you". The same can be said for a person or animal, we don't program the DNA, we program the brain as it grows or after it has grown. I am not speaking to whether LLMs are intelligent or not, I am saying though this does not prove or disprove that.
