Comment on LLMs’ “simulated reasoning” abilities are a “brittle mirage,” researchers find
BlameThePeacock@lemmy.ca 2 days agoI’ve met far too many people I wouldn’t trust to give me a reasoned response.
Some people simply lack that capacity entirely, some just don’t care enough to spend the effort on it, while others are trying to deceive me intentionally.

LLMs are incapable of reasoning. There is not a consciousness in there deciding and telling you things. My comment was entirely about whether LLMs can reason, not whether all people reason at the same level or might decide to trick you.

I don’t disagree with you that LLMs don’t reason. I disagree that all Humans can or do reason.

Well if we’re talking about all humans…
But more seriously, it doesn’t take much looking to find someone who doesn’t reason. Just look on the TV during the next major election and you’ll find a bunch.
