Obviously it can, since it is actually doing those things.
I guess you think the word “autocomplete” is too small for how sophisticated the outputs are? Use whatever term you want, but an LLM is literally completing the input you give it, based on the statistical rules it generated during the training phase. RLHF is just a technique for changing those statistical rules. It can only use tools it is specifically engineered to use.
I’m not denying it is a technology that can do all sorts of useful things. I’m saying it is a technology that works only a certain way, the way we built it.
