		karmakaze 5 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The LLMentalist Effect AlphaGo also doesn't reason. That doesn't mean it can't do things that humans do by reasoning. It doesn't make sense to make these comparisons. It's like saying that planes don't really fly because they aren't flapping their wings. Edit: Don't conflate mechanisms with capabilities.

At this point I think it is because of a type of religious sentimentality about the sanctity of human reasoning.

To take your analogy even further, it is like asking when is the plane going to improve enough that it can really fly by flapping it's wings.
