As others have said, it's an awful title. Could instead be something like "Is the emergence aspect of Emergent Abilities in Large Language Models a Mirage?".

Like, there's supposed to be nothing academic researchers like more than re-using the same word in a title, or making it into a clever pun or quip -- it's like the Dad Jokiest subfield -- but instead we just get a title that implies one common argument that people make, and actually delivers an unpredictable different argument that seems plausible but not necessarily interesting.

Could have gone with "More Comprehensive Metrics Are All You Need"

"Emergent Abilities in LLMs are not spontaneous"
