Yeah, it looks like basic reasoning but it isn’t. These things are based on pattern recognition. “Assume all x are y, all z are y, are all z x?” is a known formulation … I’ve seen it a fair number of times in my life.

Recent development has added this whole “make it prompt itself about the question” phase to try and make things more accurate … but that also only works sometimes.

AI in LLM form is just a sick joke. It’s like watching a magic trick where half of people expect the magician to ACTUALLY levitate next year because … “they’re almost there!!”

Maybe I’ll be proven wrong, but I don’t see it…
