> most humans will know that most modern programming languages have built-in basic math functionality I doubt that most humans will know what those words even mean. But pedantry aside, what I was trying to say is that people, without being corrected by others or without having self-criticism embedded in their way of thinking, make same mistakes as LLMs do. Think of an isolated programming novice who lives in his mom's basement and whose knowledge of programming comes only from stack overflow, random blogs and documentation he doesn't really understand. He'd probably give the same output as an LLM. Considering the way LLMs work, I find them conceptually most similar to a stream-of-thought kind of thinking - which, in human cognition, is only the first step in reasoning. The other steps are observing what has been thought, detecting mistakes, fixing them, and doing so repeatedly until the thought is deemed to be correct. I'm just saying maybe it's possible to emulate (to some level) that process of reasoning by connecting multiple LLMs together and giving them a task to criticize and correct each other. But then again, you don't seem to be even acknowledging that point of mine. Maybe you're just angry/jaded/<insert negative emotion> at LLMs and feel the need to vent your frustration. And then again, maybe not. If you are, that's understandable, but I think that HN is not an appropriate arena for that - Twitter or 4chan would be more appropriate.
