I view LLM as a search engine, that can find and present the knowledge in a way that is easier to consume.
For instance: Find me a solution to 2x2. I see this as a search problem, not reasoning problem.
I think many scientists don't look at it from this angle and push the agenda that somehow current AI can reason. It can't. It's just a search engine / pattern matching contraption that works so well it can fool people into thinking they interact with an intelligence.
Frankly, many people "think" in the same way. They store facts in their brain and then retrieve them when asked, but they have limited ability to arrive at new facts from those they already know, without external input.
In that sense, the "AI" can certainly replace humans in tasks that don't require to think or where there is a need to distil information from a wide array of sources in a useful way.
- ben_w 3y agoI see it as translation, not search. Search is already done fantastically well at small scale with simple indexing, and (before adversarial reactions from SEO) at internet scale with Page rank. Asking if LLMs are really reasoning or not feels like an argument about terminology, like asking if A* really is route planning.
- prox 3y agoHaving tried a week of LLM instead of search, the results are usually very good as a search engine goes (I used you.com that adds search results) But the amount of hallucinations was staggering. There is nothing behind the curtain so to speak. I constantly had to guide it like a little kid.

- pixl97 3y agoThe following is a logical reasoning problem. Determine which answer, A,B,C, or D is correct FXGB, HXIB, JXKB, _____, NXOB A. OXPBB. B. KXMBC. C. LXLBD. D. LXMB ChatGPT The pattern in the sequence "FXGB, HXIB, JXKB, _____, NXOB" suggests an alternating increment in the letters surrounding "X". Analyzing each component: The first letter sequence: F, H, J, __, N The pattern here is increasing by 2: F (+2) → H, H (+2) → J. Following this, J (+2) → L. So, the first letter of the missing term is L. The third letter sequence: G, I, K, __, O The pattern is the same as the first sequence: G (+2) → I, I (+2) → K. So, K (+2) → M. The third letter of the missing term is M. The last letter sequence: B, B, B, __, B The pattern is consistent: the letter B repeats. So, the last letter of the missing term is B. Combining these, the missing term is LXM(B). The answer is C. LXL(B)D. ---- Unfortunately I did not make up the question myself, so is it already in the training set?
- root_axis 3y agoThis response is actually quite illustrative of the stochastic nature of LLMs. Under normal circumstances a human would never make this kind of error. The system remains coherent long enough to produce the right answer, yet it still confidentially selects the wrong answer because it only understands the question as a function of statistical relationships between tokens, unlike humans who would understand the question at a conceptual level.
- kenjackson 3y agoI asked the question on GPT 4 and got the right answer: To solve this logical reasoning problem, we need to look for patterns in the given sequence: FXGB, HXIB, JXKB, _____, NXOB. 1. Analyzing the first and last letters of each group: - FXGB → HXIB → JXKB → ? → NXOB - F → H → J → ? → N Here, the pattern in the first letter seems to be skipping one letter in the alphabet each time (F +2 → H, H +2 → J, J +2 → L). So, the first letter of the missing group should be L. Looking at the last letter, we see a similar pattern: - B → B → B → ? → B The last letter is consistently B, so the last letter of the missing group should also be B. 2. Now, for the middle letters: - FXGB → HXIB → JXKB → ? → NXOB The middle letter appears to be consistently 'X', and the next letter is incrementing by one each time (G → I → K → ? → O). Following this pattern, the letter after 'X' should be M (K +1 → L, L +1 → M). So, putting it all together, the sequence should be LXMB, which is option D. Therefore, the correct answer is D. LXMB.
