> LLMs can only reconstitute things in its training data

Such as a 4D raytracing engine in Metal? Or integrating APIs for features first released months after their knowledge cut-off date?

LLMs have shown an ability to transfer "knowledge" and capabilities across domains, languages, and use-cases outside their training data.

Case in point: GPT-2 "learning" to translate English to French and vice versa despite non-English examples having been voluntarily (and almost entirely) removed from the dataset.
