“GPT-3 has stated an incorrect fact, therefore GPT-3 is unable to truly reason about anything.” - qeternity

Here we see that qeternity has stated an incorrect fact, therefore qeternity is unable to truly reason about anything :)

There is some fascinating work demonstrating generalization on arithmetic problems GPT-3 has never seen before, what do you think about that?

And once again, generalization does not imply reasoning. A linear regression is able to generalize on data it hasn’t seen before but that doesn’t mean it’s reasoning about anything.

GPT-3 is just the biggest exercise in curve fitting ever conducted.

Linear regression is reasoning, but on a very small scale.

GPT-3 Objectively does not reason about anything, thats the point, it emits patterns.
