LLMs can defend what you tell it to defend. What are you on about?
No it cannot. It does not understand anything so it cannot actually defend its points. It can make something that looks like a defense, but it doesn't understand what it is telling you. It can spit text back at you until the cows come home but none of it can ever be trusted or relied on.
it sounds like you've never used an LLM, mate.
You don't need to get philosophical into the definition of what is understanding to realize they give you arguments as valid as anyone else would.
