Calculators don't understand maths, but they are good at it.

LLMs speak many languages correctly, they don't know the referents, they don't understand concepts, but they know how to correctly associate them.

What they write can be wrong sometimes, but it absolutely makes sense most of the time.

I'd contest that, that shouldn't be taken for granted. I've tried several questions in these things, and rarely do I find an answer entirely satisfactory (though it normally sounds convincing/is grammatically correct).
