absolutely they can learn. you are being emotional and the original point is correct.
i give the LLM my codebase and it indeed learns about it and can answer questions.

Unless you are actually fine tuning models, in which case sure, learning is taking place.
if i showed a human a codebase and asked them questions with good answers - yes i would say the human learned it. the analogy breaks at a point because of limited context but learning is a good enough word.
