A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Anyone even believing that a generic word auto completer would beat classic algorithms wherever possible probably belongs into a psychiatry.
There are a lot of people out there that think LLM's are somehow reasoning. Even reasoning models aren't really doing it. It important to do demonstrations like this in the hopes that the general public will understand the limitations of this tech.
I think the problem is that, while the model isn't actually reasoning, it's very good at convincing people it actually is.
I see current LLMs kinda like an RPG character build with all ability points put into Charisma. It's actually not that good at most tasks, but it's so good at convincing people that they start to think it's actually doing a great job.
