Reflection isn’t a new concept, but a) actually proving that it’s an effective tool for these types of models and b) finding an effective method for reflection that doesn’t just locks you into circular “thinking” were the hard parts and hence the “breakthrough”.

It’s very easy to say hey ofc it’s obvious but there is nothing obvious about it because you are anthropomorphizing these models and then using that bias after the fact as a proof of your conjecture.

This isn’t how real progress is achieved.
