It's debatable that humans do "drawing logical conclusions based on logic". Look at politics and what people vote for. They seem to do something more like pattern matching.
- coldtea 10mo agoMaybe we say that when we don't like those conclusions? After all I can guarantee the other side (whatever it is) will say the same thing for your "logical" conclusions. It is logic, we just don't share the same predicates or world model...
- isodev 10mo agoHumans are far from logical. We make decisions within the context of our existence. This includes emotions, friends, family, goals, dreams, fears, feelings, mood, etc. it’s one of the challenges when LLMs are being anthropomorphised, reasoning/logic for bots is not the same as that for humans.
- R_D_Olivaw 10mo agoAnd yet, when we make bad calls or do illogical things, because of hormones, emotions, energy levels, etc we still calling it reasoning. But, to LLMs we don't afford the same leniency. If they flip some bits and the logic doesn't add up we're quick to point that "it's not reasoning at all". Funny throne we've built for ourselves.
- habinero 10mo agoYes, because different things are different.
- virgil_disgr4ce 10mo agoJust because all humans don't use reason all the time doesn't mean reasoning isn't a good and desirable strategy.
- vaylian 10mo agoI agree that some people use intuition or pattern matching to make decisions. But humans are also able to use logical reasoning to come to conclusions.
