I don’t get it from your message why am llm can’t do it

Related: Have you seen nvidea with their simulated 3d env. That might not be called llm but it’s not very far away from what our llm actually do right now. It’s just a naming difference

This argument was specifically about LLMs, not about other techniques (RL, multi-armed bandit, etc) that might be better leveraged to accomplish this type of goal.

An LLM which makes a tool call to a function called `ride_bike`, where that function is a different sort of model with a different set of feedback mechanisms than those available to the LLM, is NOT the same thing at all. The LLM hasn't "learned" to ride the bike. The best you can say is that the LLM has learned that the bike can be ridden, and that it has a way of asking some other entity to ride on its behalf.

Now, could you develop such a model and make it available to an LLM? Sure, probably. But that's not an LLM. Moreover, it involves you, a human, making novel inroads on a different sort of AI/robotics problem. It simply is not possible to accomplish with an LLM.
