As to general consensus, Hinton gave a recent talk, and he seemed adamant that neural networks (which LLMs are) really are doing reasoning. He gives his reasons for it. Is Hinton considered an outlier or?

A) Hinton is quite vocal about desiring to be an outsider/outlier as he says it is what lets him innovate.
B) He is also famous for his Doomerism, which often depends on machines doing "reasoning".
So...it's complicated, and we all suffer from confirmation bias.
Link to the talk?
