Why would I rebut that? I'm simply arguing that they don't need to be 'intelligent' to accurately determine the colour of the sky and that if you expect an intelligence to know the colour of the sky without ever seeing it then you're being absurd.

The way the comment I responded to was written makes no sense to reality and I addressed that.

Again as I said in other comments you're arguing that an LLM is not will smith in I Robot and or Scarlett Johansson playing the role of a usb stick but that's not what anyone sane is suggesting.

A fork isn't great for eating soup, neither is a knife required but that doesn't mean they're not incredibly useful eating utensils.

Try thinking of an LLM as a type of NLP or natural language processing tool which allows computers to use normal human text as input to perform a range of tasks. It's hugely useful and unlocks a vast amount of potential but it's not going to slap anyone for joking about it's wife.
