Not exactly. Step E in the blog post:

I disagree. No state "owned" by LLM changed, it only sent a request to the internet like any other.

EDIT: In other words, the LLM didn't change any state it has access to.

To stretch this further - clicking on search results changes the internal state of Google. Would you consider this ability of LLM to be state-changing? Where would you draw the line?

[EDIT]

I should have included the full C option:

Change state or communicate externally. The ability to call `cat` and then read results would "activate" the C option in my opinion.
