because they're being sold as if they can solve complex tasks
LLMs can use a prompt to generate text based off of a huge pile of content produced by other people. Sometimes that text is an exact copy of the original text. They may "solve" a problem if the solution is contained in their training data and your prompt is able to retrieve it.
They're a (very) improved version of a Markov chain. Not a problem solver of any sort
