> An LLM cannot do that, it cannot attack your point very well, it doesn't know how to say you're wrong, because it doesn't care anyway. It just completes your sentences, so if you say "now you're wrong, change your mind" it will, which sounds far from reasoning to me, and quite unreasonable in fact.

That is absolute bullshit. Go try any frontier reasoning model such as Gemini 2.5 Pro or GPT-o3 and see how that goes. They will inform you that you are full of shit.

Do you understand that they are deep learning models with hundreds of layers and trillions of parameters? They have learned patterns of reasoning, and can emulate human reasoning well enough to call you out on that nonsense.
