MIT Technology Review argues LLMs don't truly reason
Original: Don't be fooled–LLMs don't reason
MIT Technology Review has published a piece arguing that large language models do not genuinely reason, urging readers not to be fooled by their fluent outputs into attributing human-like thinking to them. The argument has drawn attention on Hacker News, where commenters are debating whether current AI systems reason or merely reproduce patterns from training data, reigniting a familiar dispute over how to characterise what these models actually do.
Why now: Renewed expert scepticism about AI reasoning claims keeps the debate over what LLMs can and cannot do active among tech readers.
