I can see why you would think that, but to see how it actually goes with a human, look at the interaction between a parent and child, or a teacher and student.

"Johnny, what's 2+2?"

"5?"

"No, Johnny, try again."

"Oh, it's 4."

Turning Johnny into an LLM,nThe next time someone asks, he might not remember 4, but he does remember that "5" consistently gets him a "that's wrong" response. So does "3".

But the only way he knows 5 and 3 gets a negative reaction is by training on his own data, learning from his own mistakes.

He becomes a better and better mimic, which gets him up to about a 5th grade level of intelligence instead of a toddler.

It needs to be retrained on the responses it receives from it's conversation partner. It's previous output provides context for it's partner's responses.

It recognizes when it is told that it is wrong. It is fed data that certain outputs often invite "you're wrong" feedback from it's partners, and it is instructed to minimize such feedback.

It is not (yet) developing true intelligence. It is simply learning to bias it's responses in such a way that it's audience doesn't immediately call it a liar.

"Its" has been deprecated.

"It's" follows the rule for contractions with words ending in "s" (is, has) as well as the apostrophe-s rule for possessive forms. As you have demonstrated, the distinction is obvious in context; there is no significant opportunity for confusion.

Keeping the old form does nothing for society other than to inflate the egos of authoritarian English teachers, provide an opportunity for pedantry, confuse spell checkers, and introduce an unneeded exception to the possessive form. Nothing of value is lost by eliminating the old word.

So, "It's" is a homonym: two words spelled and pronounced the same, but carrying different meanings.

A BMX bike without a rider will roll along happily. We called it "ghost riding" when I was a kid.

Hybrid hard drive. Basically, a hard drive with a large solid state cache.

Actual shipping would vary depending on location, but sellers are padding the shipping charge so they can display a lower unit price.

There's a little to be said for it, sure.
