It is depressing how often Bender & Koller 2020 is cited incorrectly. My best guess as to why this is is that people writing about whether or not LLMs 'understand' or 'are agents' have such strongly held beliefs about what they want to be true that this impedes their ability to understand what we wrote.
Or maybe they aren't actually reading the paper --- just summarizing based on what other people (with similar beliefs) have mistakenly said about the paper.
