This is not a matter of belief, it's a matter of observable fact.

Humans reason. LLM predict.

A better way to differentiate might be to say how many watts have been used for an answer.

> Humans reason

Are you sure? They reason in a way to match others predictions, right? The problem of humans transporting information from one individual to another remains. All reason can effectively only be prediction, as it requires two persons at minimum. And there is a lot of noise to filter.

> LLM predict.

Well, there is a human that needs to reason with what the LLM has predicted. So from that perspective, it should suffice already for the moment.

Ok, but are humans not using predictions while reasoning?

And are LLM's unable to reason?

I‘m not sure we know what the difference between these two is
Looks like Hoomans also terse and lazy.
Come on.

«Humans [can] reason. LLM [in a way just] predict.»

"Best interpretation."

It still doesn't say why reason can't be predicted. As it stands it is just begging the question.
See?
