Companies are training LLMs on all the data that they can find, but this data is not the world, but discourse about the world. The rank-and-file developers at these companies, in their naivete, do not see that distinction....So, as these LLMs become increasingly but asymptotically fluent, tantalizingly close to accuracy but ultimately incomplete, developers complain that they are short on data. They have their general purpose computer program, and if they only had the entire world in data form to shove into it, then it would be complete.

I'm guessing you didn't read the rest of the piece and were just looking for the first thing to try and invalidate further reading?

If you read the whole thing, it's pretty clear the author is not saying that the recreation is a perfect copy of the original.
