1. What do you think the reversal curse implies about LLMs? 2. Do you believe that LLMs are capable of logic? 3. Do you believe that LLMs are intelligent? 4. Do you believe that your blog post shows 3 or 4? If not, what is it about?

1. I don't think the original research paper demonstrated the reversal curse. They claimed that you'd only get random answers from their example prompt. I showed that wasn't the case. I also pointed out what I believe to be a flaw in how they trained their model that when corrected for gave results that were non-random.

2. That depends on what you mean by logic. What would be an example of logical reasoning that would settle this?

3. Alan Turing created the Imitation Game thought experiment to show the futility of this question. If intelligence is something that can be observed and tested, then when we should be able to describe what to test for.

4. I don't make any specific claims about LLMs logic or intelligence. I just wanted to put their claim that LLMs can't generalize from B to A to the test.
