It’s subtle but I would regard this as an incorrect answer.

The structure of the LLM answer is:

A is B; B exhibits property C.

The correct answer is:

A exhibits property C; B is the class of things with property C; therefore A is B.

There is a crucial difference between these two.

This doesn't apply to all prompts, and the prompt was not provided. Natural language is a fickle thing.

This kind of pointless hair splitting is why people would rather talk to an LLM.

This kind of “hair splitting” is the foundation on current prompt engineering though…

I think you've read too much early Wittgenstein. That is simply not how people communicate.
