again:
LLMs do not understand,
LLMs do not reason,
they just guess the next words based on a laaarge data set.
Their programming does not allow anything else.

@vampirdaddy@chaos.social The idea seems to be that the very large data set allows them to encode a certain level of "reasoning and understanding", and thus correctly predict the next words given the current context. That ... might even work eventually. The point is that even one of the currently largest and most advanced models can't do it (yet?) for a rather trivial task. But please don't reply with very basic fundamentals as one liners, which comes across as somewhat condescending :) Thanks!
