Sure, things like counting the ‘r’s in strawberry, for example (till they are retrained not to make that mistake).

There are humans that can't do that but are clearly capable of reasoning. Not a meaningful categorical split.

  • There are certainly humans with poor reasoning or even incapable of reasoning, I’m not sure what you think that proves?

    • Ok, but if you read my comment you would note that I constructed a category of humans who can reason but cannot count the r's in strawberry.

      I think you don't know what it means to reason, and are dismissively claiming AI cannot reason as though it invalidates a point made earlier without even having a sturdy definition in your head. I think for you to say "LLMs can't reason" in this context is essentially a NOP.
