I think there is a misunderstanding - the whole point of my comment was that LLMs are lacking sensory input which could link the neural activations to real-world objects and thus provide a grounding of their computations.

I agree with you that purely symbolic AI systems had severe limitations (just think of those expert systems of the past), but the direction must not only go towards higher-level symbolic provers but also towards lower level sensory data integration.
