I didn’t say they have no knowledge, quite the opposite. Here a quote from the comment you answered:
LLMs are extremely knowledgeable (as in they “know” a lot) but are completely dumb.
There is a subtle difference between intelligent and knowledgeable. LLM know a lot in that sense that they can remember a lot of things, but they are dumb in that sense that they are completely unable to draw conclusions and put that knowledge into action in any other means besides spitting out again what they once learned.
That’s why LLMs can tell you a lot about about all different kinds of game theory about tic tac toe but can’t draw/win that game consistently.
So knowing a lot and still being dumb is not a contradiction.
You say they have no knowledge and are only good for boilerplate. So you’re contradicting yourself there.
