When we say LLMs don't know or understand anything, this is what we mean. This is a perfect example of an "AI" just not having any idea what it's doing.
But:
AIs do not understand anything. They just regurgitate in ways that the algorithm chooses. There's no attempt to make the algorithm right, or smart, or relevant, or anything except an algorithm that's just mashing up strings and vectors.
It's kind of adorable, like a child designing an album cover using concepts they recognize but don't understand
