On: What can LLMs never do?

"Consider this: can an mlp approximate a sine wave?"

Well, yes - we have neutral speech and music synthesis and compression algorithms which do this exceedingly well...

I think the person you're replying to may have been referring to the problem of a MLP approximating a sine wave for out of distribution samples, i.e. the entire set of real numbers.
