My conclusion from all that I'm reading lately is that LLMs cannot do deduction but they can fake it real good.

I mean, you wouldn't use this brand of AI to plot your path to Mars. Well, you could, BUT you'll also want to validate the path or risk dying.

But this AI is good enough for Elon and his ilk. Because Elon's not gonna get into the capsule, you are.

Because you are not the master of this AI, you are the validator.

indeed, these machines do a great mimicry of "reasoning", we get fooled by it.

the word reasoning has been subverted by those pushing these llms, and we all have bought-in. quite a magic trick this illusionist has pulled on us.

Yep.

There's gonna come a time when Elon's gonna tell the AI to tell us to push all the buttons, just to see if we'll do it. And I'm pretty sure we will.

Does it matter if they mimicked it better than most humans?
