I reckon you’re proving their point. You’re using a large language model for language-specific tasks. It ought to be good at that, but it doesn’t mean it is generic artificial intelligence.

generic artificial intelligence is a sufficiently large bag of tricks. that's what natural intelligence is. there's no evidence that it's not just tricks all the way down.

I'm not asking the model to translate from one language to another - I'm asking it to explain to me why a certain word combination means something specific.

it can also solve/explain a lot of things that aren't language. bag of tricks.
