Is this seriously surprising to anyone who knows the absolute minimum about how LLMs parse and understand text?

[dontlikeyoueith]

Nope.

It's only surprising to people who still think they're going to build God out of LLMs.

It was surprising to me and when I reviewed the paper, I found serious flaws that calls the fundamental claims into question - they didn't use any reasoning tokens. Any LLM or human will fail at a task like this if not allowed to think.

[dontlikeyoueith]

Calling "reasoning tokens" "thinking" is a complete confusion of concepts on your part.

[simianwords]

why?

Machines can’t think because the bible says nothing about it
