Humans learn dynamically and can apply patterns to problems across domains. I think these are a couple key capabilities we have that LLM's don't have (for example).
In-context learning (Few Shot Prompting) is absolutely demonstrable by LLMs since GPT 3.5 at least.
I don't think that but you're right that I was partially countering a pro-LLM argument that was not there.
It was a bit of a knee jerk reaction due to the number of people overstating current LLM's capabilities here on HN.
