I don’t understand why very large neural networks can’t model causality in principal.

I also don’t understand the argument that even if NNs can model causality in principal they are unlikely to do so in practice (things I’ve heard: spurious correlations are easier to learn, the learning space is too large to expect causality to be learned from data, etc).

I also don’t understand why people aren’t convinced that LLM can demonstrate causal understanding in setting where they have been used for things like control like decision transformers… like what else is expected here?

Please enlighten me
