The LLM is not messing with you.
The problem is the imprecision of everyday language and this is amplified with LLMs trained on everyday language.
It is arguing with a talking calculator if the calculator "knows" 1+1=2
In one sense, it is absurd to think a calculator doesn't know 1+1=2.
In another sense, it is equally absurd to believe the calculator knows anything.
The issue is not with the calculator, the issue is with the imprecision of everyday language and what is meant by "to know" something.
This scales to basically everything. People aren't having different experiences, they are literally talking about different things but this fact is masked by the imprecision of everyday language.
