Just ask it how many r's are in strawberry and you will realize there isn't a lot of reasoning going on here, it's just trickery on top of token generators.

This is akin to "Show a human an optical illusion that exploits their physiology".

LLM's be like "The dumb humans can't even see the dots"[1]

		haha that's a great analogy! How about non-determinism (i.e. hallucinations)? Ask a human ANY question 3 times and they will give you the same answer, every time, unless you prod them or rephrase the question. Sure the answer might be wrong 3 times, but at least you have consistency. Then again, maybe that's a disadvantage for humans!

Ask an illiterate person the same thing and they will fail badly too. Is it impossible to have intelligence without literacy? (Bonus: if so, how was writing invented?)

		Yes but an illiterate person can be taught to read. Also LLMs generally fail (non-deterministically) at math in general, but humans can also be taught math.
