If you believe the OP article fits that description, we have nothing further to discuss.

This is no way, shape, or form about "word choice". The quote I posted reflects an objectively incorrect understanding of what LLMs do.

Pointing out objectively true facts is not "mansplaining".

Do you not think "serious engagement with the subject" requires at least some familiarity with the subject? That's not in evidence here or in your comments. What sort of serious engagement do you believe you're achieving by coming at this from a position of near-total ignorance?
