Are you saying that GPT is not a stochastic parrot, or that GPT is not returning coherent reasoning?

Because if it's the latter, the evidence is rather against you. People seem to like to cherry-pick examples of where GPT gets reasoning wrong, but it's getting it right enough millions of times a day that people keep using it.

And it's not as if humans don't get reasoning wrong. In fact the humans who say GPT can't reason are demonstrating that.
