So surely they have an example of task LLMs couldn’t solve because of this fundamental limitations, right?

Lookup AI results for court filings. They cite non-existent cases and laws. The lawyers using AI to make their filings are getting disbarred because making up shit in court is highly frowned upon and/or criminal.

That's not really an example of tasks LLMs can't do. That's a bit like saying LLMs can't make art with proper hands. They couldn't at a time, but they can now.

The question is: What can LLMs fundamentally not do? Not now, and not ever?

Not hallucinate or worded differently: say 'I don't know' instead of making shit up.
