Well, without bothering to get all epistemological about it, it's clear that LLMs doesn't know, say, the law in a way that a lawyer knows it, or physics in the way that a physicist knows it. And that's enough to be a problem, given how people are trying to use LLMs. They're trying to use it like a human who "knows" (whatever that means). And whatever an LLM actually does, it doesn't do that.

My uncle doesn't know the law the way a lawyer knows it either, but that doesn't stop him from trying to use it like someone who does ;) If the claim is only "LLMs don't work like humans" and "LLMs make a lot of factual and logical errors", then that seems to be correct as far as it goes, but it doesn't go very far.
