Did Khaneman get into this in his book?
Also, as for the point of contention, I think if you tell the LLM to show its work in mathematically formal notation, it's far more likely to be able to produce correct answers (I think there was a post on here in the last week or so demonstrating that?). I think this kind of makes the comparison to humans more fair, because inside their mind humans are doing some sort of intermediate math in their head for anything beyond trivial problems, and an LLM needs to be able to speak explicitly to compete fairly with that (I speculate/propose).

(Also, in retrospect I should have made it clearer that this exception was meant to be an example more than a particular claim... "under sufficient duress" almost makes it vacuously true.) > Also, as for the point of contention, [...] Yes! I've heard this reported as well, multiple times. I suppose it's sort of like using a pen and some scratch paper.
