Haha, this is hilarious. Its interesting to see how even with "Phd level skills" LLMs often fail to answer such basic questions

Basically, LLMs are like "Rain Man".

A fundamental lack of logic, reasoning, creativity and understanding of reality still remains --- even after all the data available on the internet has been statistically consumed and cataloged

Conclusion: Statistics can be used to answer a lot of questions but it is a poor substitute for logic regardless of the size of the database being applied.

Try as you might but some problems simply can't be adequately solved with a simple statistical approach.
