ok prove it. I'm thinking of a number right now between 1-10,000. Show me the number the LLM guesses. You can definitively prove this statement for me.

It's a probability problem really. The range of a prompt has billions of possibilities. If it arrived at a correct answer within that range then the probability it got there without reasoning is miniscule.

Same with this mind reading thing. Prove it.

Doesn't really seem fair that any one prompt proves your conclusion but it has to guess your exact number to prove my conclusion. Gemini guessed mine on the very first try (7) even though the range of numbers is infinite. Billions is small potatoes compared to what I've proven.

I’ll pick a prompt such that the range is vast so that if it gets the answer right the probability is so small that it must have arrived there by reasoning.
