Exploring the limits of artificial intelligence: why mastering patterns may not equal genuine reasoning
—
I have hardly ever known a mathematician who was capable of reasoning. — Plato
Reasoning draws a conclusion, but does not make the conclusion certain, unless the mind discovers it by the path of experience. — Roger Bacon
Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown remarkable capabilities, especially for classical tasks in natural language processing (such as question answering). Surprisingly, they showed improvement in complex tasks requiring reasoning (such as coding and mathematics). These capabilities have long been considered exclusive to humans. So claiming that LLMs can solve tasks that require reasoning has opened a heated debate.
Can Large Language Models (LLMs) truly reason? Or are they just sophisticated pattern matchers?
