I actually was going to link the same one I always do, which I think I heard about through a blog or talk. If that's not good enough, it's easy to devise your own test and put it to an LLM. The way you phrased that makes it sound like you're more interested in ignoring any empirical evidence, though.

That’s unreal. No, you cannot come up with your own scientific test to determine a language model’s capacity for understanding. You don’t even have access to the “thinking” side of the LLM.

A task it couldn't have seen in the training data, I mean.

You don’t even have access to the “thinking” side of the LLM.

Obviously, that goes for the natural intelligences too, so it's not really a fair thing to require.
