How bloody stupid are LLMs

*Recently, the Rowsons accidentally invented a new game that anyone can play at home. I have yet to come up with a world-beating name for it, so for now let's just call it "How bloody stupid is [some so-called] AI?" The playing of the game will change from player to player, depending on their circumstances – but essentially the rules remain the same. Ask [some so-called] AI a simple question about yourself, and see just how wrong it gets it.*
He that knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a fool -- shun him.
It that knows not, and knows not that it knows not, is an LLM -- switch it off.
