can process a million games in seconds, where a human can't.

A human doesn't need to. A human can apply reason and logic and at least play the game given only a few simple rules.

GPT has poor reasoning ability and doesn't comprehend the rules --- so it relies on database lookup to sorta fake it. Without this, it's kinda helpless. It clearly lacks any real comprehension --- aka "intelligence".

Using statistics, it can fabricate text that "sounds" plausible but it has no comprehension of the correctness (or lack there of) of what it produces.

But is that really the case? It's actually not just a database lookup. It is abstracting and compressing throughout the training process.

And it clearly learns certain rules about our world. It seems LLMs can reason, but reasoning is a big field and it hasn't mastered all it's forms, i.e. search future scenarios or spatial reasoning.
