Is it actually reasoning though or just pattern matching? Seems like to compare one should also “know” which your above response indicates they do not.

I guess the real question is “does moving down a stochastic gradient of probabilities suffice as reasoning to you” and my awnser is no because you don’t need reason to find the nearest neighbor in this architecture. In this case the model is not actively comparing and inferring its simply associating without “knowing”

There are many types of reasoning, and LLMs appear to do some of them.

Repeating a point without proffering evidence only makes it seems as if you don’t have anything to argue of substance.
