Sarah T Roberts, PhD: Try teaching college students. You won’t be quite so dismissive then.
Pwnallthethings: I think the "LLMs can't reason" stuff is mostly sophism these days. They plainly do not "reason" in the way humans do, and are certainly not always correct or good at it, but they are also doing th…
