We actually do, and often - depending on who our speaker is, our relationship with them, the tone of the message, etc. Maybe our intellect is not fully an LLM, but I truly wonder how much of our dialectical skills are.

You're describing the same answer with different phrasing.

Humans do that, LLMs regularly don't.

If you phrase the question "what color is your car?" a hundred different ways, a human will get it correct every time. LLMs randomly don't, if the token prediction veers off course.

Edit:

A human also doesn't get confused at fundamental priors after a reasonable context window. I'm perplexed that we're still having this discussion after years of LLM usage. How is it possible that it's not clear to everyone?

Don't get me wrong, I use it daily at work and at home and it's indeed useful, but there's is absolutely 0 illusion of intelligence for me.
