My father put together Legos as a child, as did I and as will my children. Toys do not exist to satisfy some inherent agenda of technological progress, they exist to entertain children. Why you think we would need a LLM for that is baffling.

I honestly can't tell if this is trolling. LEGO bricks are pretty new technology, in the scheme of things. The original LEGO company "binding brick" was created in the late 1940s.
Of course you don't "need" an LLM to have a great toy. You also don't "need" injection-molded plastic. But if you have access to one or both, that can be pretty great!
