This is an extremely common fallacy I've seen lots and lots of people fall into with respect to LLMs. In nearly every case, they use the fact that "some humans can't do X" to claim that LLMs are, in fact, basically conscious/human-like/AGI already.
replyThis is deeply untrue, and is highly likely to lead them to bad conclusions about what we can and should do with LLMs.

replyClaiming that LLMs are conscious or human-like because humans can't do X seems a very strange way to argue for LLM intelligence.
Usually, it goes the other way around: an LLM sceptic says "LLMs are dumb because they can't do X" and soon someone has to remind them that also most of the population can't, in fact, do X.
