> Next word prediction IS reasoning
I can write a program in less than 100 lines that can do next work prediction and I guarantee you it's not going to be reasoning.
Note that I'm not saying LLMs are or are not reasoning. I'm saying "next word prediction" is not anywhere near sufficient to determine if something is able to reason or not.
- twayt 3y agoAny program you write is encoded reasoning. I’d argue if-then statements are reasoning too. Even if you do write a garbage next word predictor, it would still be reasoning. It’s just a qualitative assessment that it would be good reasoning. Again, what exactly is your definition of reasoning? It seems to be not well defined enough to have a discussion about in this context.
