This viewpoint is curdling rapidly. The definition of "reasoning" and "intelligence" will be debated for ages by philosophers and cognitive scientists, but whatever type of logical/critical thinking is going on in the heads of software engineers and mathematicians, frontier LLMs can now emulate to a very high degree. For mathematics in particular, examples like the following will become common place:

This happens whenever a disruptive technology is introduced to a field and I will never get over the irony of a software engineer (in a profession whose entire goal is to automate tasks) not noticing the hypocrisy.

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

There is certainly randomness in model output that the user has to work around, but sending the same prompt with the same context (or even worse- with added entropy leaving the previous failed prompt in the context) over and over again akin to pulling a slot machine lever is certainly user error and not the way to "hold it".

"Opponents of obscene wealth/income inequality are typically not motivated by envy – that is your own projection."

That's literally what you wrote to start the thread.

With this paper by Microsoft and the infamous paper by Apple last year, it seems the tech giants that don't have their own models are getting a bit insecure.

a little glib, but there is in fact long term learning. It's just that you are not the one mentoring- the models go to intensive OpenAI/Anthropic/Google school for a quarter or half a year and come back (hopefully) improved. You just hope they're getting a good education. Certainly it's a very prestigious one.

The author might also simply think it is plausible because of the high profile incident with Gemini back in 2024 when it was exposed that political correctness bias was clearly being explicitly programmed into the models.

I agree. Also, Linkedin and CV's shouldn't exist. Self-promotion is gauche.

I don't think this is the slam dunk you think this is. LinkedIn's existence is, in fact, a net negative for the human race.

I don't see how "wordcel" brain is bigger on thinking and agency than "shape rotator" brain unless you have a very biased view of what each is.

Also, it really doesn't matter who does or doesn't hate AI. It's like the automobile- it's inevitable and society will adapt to its endemic use.

It's fine if the "rambling" is logically coherent. So the communication ability isn't really about expressing your thoughts eloquently, but just effectively and clearly. Run on sentences and train of thought is fine as long as you are saying something meaningful. But no AI will be able to read your mind and know exactly what you mean by "make really cool looking website, not lame please, also nice colors, not boring". Declarative programming through natural language will become incredibly powerful.
