Of course they don't! But I think the most fascinating and exciting part about LLMs is: a sufficiently large model can produce things that look a lot like cognition, without having it at all. That is shocking and suggests maybe AGI is not even goal worth hitting.

We are seeing partial emergence now and it's only going to get more complex. Edit: this is may turning to a search for truth and definitions of reality question. When the last person alive is no longer able to tell whether they're speaking to an AI, does it actually matter whether it's true generalized intelligence or just an emergent approximation?
