> LLM's do not think, understand, reason, reflect, comprehend and they never shall. ... It's amazing the results that LLM's are able to acheive. ... it also makes sense as to why it would, just look at the volume of human knowledge

Not so much amazing as bewildering that certain results are possible in spite of a lack of thinking etc. I find it highly counterintuitive that simply referencing established knowledge would ever get the correct answer to novel problems, absent any understanding of that knowledge.
