I sorta agree with you, but replying to "LLM can't reason" with "an LLM says they do" is wild

- JohnKemeny 1y agoI asked ChatGPT and it agrees with the statement that it is indeed wild
- tim333 1y agoI don't have a strong opinion if LLMs can reason or not. I think they can a bit but not very well. I think that also applies to many humans though. I was stuck that to my eyes GPT5's take on the question seemed better thought out than Garry Marcus's who is pretty biased to the LLMs are rubbish school.
- afiori 1y agoMost of the reasonings for the impossibility of intelligence in LLMs either require very restricted environments (chatgpt might not be able to tell how many r are in strawberry, but it can write a python script to do so and it could call it if given access to shell or similar and it can understand the answer) or implicitly imply that human brains have magic powers beyond turing completeness.
