Humans don’t reliably solve that either.

They can and have. But they don't achieve this by using probability to guess the next word in a sentence.

Once again, judgment is an important but ill defined aspect of intelligence.

An LLM has none. Instead, it relies on probability --- which we all know can easily produce incorrect results that sound plausible.

Tempered with human judgment, LLMs can still prove useful in some strictly restrained cases but it's general purpose reliability is highly suspect --- in my judgment. And this lack of reliability counters the logic for applying them in a lot of cases.
