Ben is saying that LLMs have no "reasoning/*grounding* ability," but can be
components of AGI systems that do.

You'll have to ask Ben how he thinks AGI systems will have grounding
ability, but it is clear that he believes LLMs do not have this ability and
I agree.

 (GPT-4 also agrees that it cannot solve the symbol grounding problem for
itself, but you call it a liar or a victim of brainwashing).
