đApple did the research; LLMs cannot do formal reasoning. Results change by as much as 10% if something as basic as the names change.

MOVED TO @@ShadowJonathan not to sound antiintellectual, but isn't it kinda obvious that a *text* generator, no matter how complex, can't do abstract reasoning?
Scott Feeney@halva @ShadowJonathan yeah, I appreciate the demonstrations, but this feels a little like, "New study confirms bicycles cannot fly."
Cassandrich@graue @halva @ShadowJonathan But imagine of the world's most awful people were pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into telling everyone bicycles can fly. Then you would need to spend resources refuting that. đ€Ź
enoch_exe_inc@dalias @graue @halva @ShadowJonathan Youâd think that people who own a bicycle can just checkâŠ
On a tangentially related note, flying bicycles are invented by future humanity âThe Dark Forestâ personal flying vehicles in the form of helicopter backpacks. Theyâre âbicyclesâ in the sense that theyâre two counter-rotating coaxially-mounted propellers. Thatâs actually not a bad idea. If only we poured billions of dollars into making that work.

does the emperor have no clothes? would people call him out on it?
@ShadowJonathan @enoch_exe_inc @dalias @graue @halva I would. Whether from a government or a corporation, I will not reject the evidence in front of my eyes.

I'm an avid cyclist. I'll be out riding most of today and tomorrow.
Technically ...
Some bicycles do fly:

And many "mountain bikers" are known for getting a lot of "air"

But yes, generally, bicycles do *not* fly.
