This is true. They do not think, because they are next token predictors, not brains.
Having this in mind, you can still harness a few usable properties from them. Nothing like the kind of hype the techbros and VCs imagine, but a few moderately beneficial use-cases exist.
Without a doubt. But PhD level thinking requires a kind of introspection that LLMs (currently) just don’t have. And the letter counting thing is a funny example of that inaccuracy
