This kind of "LLMs don't really do anything, it's all a trick" / "they're stochastic parrots" argument was kind of maybe defensible a year and a half ago. At this point, if you're making these arguments you're willfuly ignorant of what is happening.
LLMs write code, today, that works. They solve hard PhD level questions, today.
There is no trick. If anything, it's clear they haven't found a trick and are mostly brute forcing the intelligence they have. They're using unbelievable amounts of compute and are getting close to human level. Clearly humans still have some tricks that LLMs dont have yet, but that doesn't diminish what they can objectively do.
