This is like claiming a photorestor controlled night light "understands when it is dark" or that a bimetallic strip thermostat "understands temperature". You can say those words, and it's syntactically correct but entirely incorrect semantically.

I'd say the opposite also applies: to the extent LLMs have an internal language, we understand very little of it.
