> That's not really reasoning

They are trained a certain way to perform specific types of tasks, primarily natural language processing tasks. They have necessarily learned some methods of reasoning in order to do what they were trained to do. No one is pretending that these are symbolic logic mechanical theorem provers. They are tuned a certain way to respond in a specific manner and they only do what they are told. If you want it to use reasoning then you need to tell it to use reasoning. It's a chat bot running on a neural network and it is not self aware.

Hopefully the next generation of AI will be more reasonable. We are not there yet.
