Apple Paper Exposes Limitations Of Reasoning Models At High Complexity
I can't help but realize that a majority of humans also have an illusion of thinking. Add that to the other cognitive bias of the illusion of control. It's our unconscious that does all the heavy lifting, and it's forged through habits. The argument that habits are the same as thinking should strike one as strange. But that is what it is!
Computers aren't designed using habits, they are programmed and follow the code to the letter. Most folks don't even consider that as thinking anymore but call it computation. LLMs are trained to learn habits, if those habits are good (i.e., good reasoning traces) then they do appear to us as being strong "thinkers."

It seems to me that too many throw around the word "thinking" recklessly without actually understanding what it means.
