Right, there's a pervasive issue here that involves illusions and assumptions coming from the minds of the humans perceiving everything.
It's like that meme where people are asked how a mirror "knows" what object is being held when a piece of opaque paper is placed in between the object and the nearest mirror surface.
Both are genuinely useful, but with mirrors we've built an accepted body of knowledge and authority, telling people to distrust their intuition and analyze it as light-paths.
LLMs are another kind of reflection—of languages—but the same guardrails aren't established, and some people have a rather strong profit motive to encourage consumers and investors to fall for the illusions.
