The point of the previous article was to demonstrate that LLMs do not reason, or more particularly, attempt to determine truth. They simply try to calculate what is the next most likely and natural thing you expect to see in a flow of words. Sometimes you get something true out of that, often times you get something that is either false or shallow.
Explain how you go from that, to saying that LLMs are doing reasoning and deduction, and are creative.
There are software programs that attempt to do deduction and reasoning, by connecting propositions and arguments to determine truth and falsity. But as far as I understand, that is not what LLMs do.
