It’s still not thinking just because we call the reasoning texts “thoughts”. To imply otherwise in the direction of these models truly “thinking” is just a failure to understand the technology.
It does not. But it does make the world that little bit more annoying, like whenever someone posts anything about AI these days there’s that select few that love to pose those absurd “okay but we’re just electrical impulses too, how can we be sure LLMs aren’t actually conscious and alive too?” “”””philosophical”””” questions.
Things like these make my blood boil for how unserious and completely off-the-wall stupid they are.
Hell, someone the other day equated a plane to a bird because both can fly… this is the type of thing we ought to expect from children just learning what philosophy is. Not adults.
We can add you to the list of smart folks who have lost their minds over this topic, and all for a failure to understand the basic computer science on which they're built.

But we do say planes 'fly' and not invent another bogus word for it because a plane is not biological :)
Next they'll tell you they can make life because we're all just an electrochemical soup.
Uh, huh. Sure we are.
So Paul thinks LLMs, think?
