I've been talking to GPT and asking it long multi part questions and it does seem to 'think through' them, and able to provide negative responses.
Specific logic questions like in this post, or long math formulas seem to still be a struggle. But I get the impression it is just a matter of time before it is scaled up to handle them.
You can argue whether it is 'reasoning' about them or not. But if it becomes indistinguishable from a human, then does the word 'reason' even really apply to the human anymore? Both are black boxes, giving answers.
- nuancebydefault 3y agoIndeed, anyone who says llm's cannot reason since it is just reformulating things it remembers, is unable to explain what reasoning is, let alone how it would not be reasoning. In the end, if the result is indistinguishable from a treat people call reasoning, let's call the behavior reasoning.
