What is the word for creating an account 12 days ago and exclusively defending the LLMs because they can't defend themselves?

Ah, allow me to introduce you to the Infinite Monkey theorem.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_monkey_theorem

In the case of LLMs it's just the monkey's hand is artificially guided by all the peanut-guided trainings it was trained on but it still didn't use a single ounce of thought or intelligence. Sorry that you get impressed by simple tricks and confuse them for magic.

And this proves what exactly? That any task can be solved by pure chance at pass@k, with k blowing out to infinity as the solution space grows?

We know that. The value of intelligence is being able to outperform that random chance.

LLMs already outperform a typewriter monkey, a keyboard cat, and a non-insignificant amount of humans on a very diverse range of tasks.
