> LLMs do a good job of teasing it out that resembles reasoning/thinking but really isn't.
Given the fact that "thinking" still hasn't been defined rigourously, I don't understand how people are so confident in claiming they don't think.
reasoning might be a better term to discuss as it is more specific?
It too isn't rigourously defined. We're very much at the hand-waving "I know it when I see it" [1] stage for all of these terms.

I can't speak for academic rigor, but it is very clear and specific from my understanding at least. Reasoning, simply put is the ability to come to a conclusion after analyzing information using a logic-derived deterministic algorithm.
