>Not to be snarky but “as far as I can tell” is the rub isn’t it?

From skimming the paper, I don't believe they're doing in-context learning, which would be the obvious interpretation of "pattern matching". That's what I meant to communicate.

>No, one could not unless they were being disingenuous.

I think it is just about as disingenuous as labeling LLMs as pattern-matchers. I don't see why you would consider the one claim to be disingenuous, but not the other.
