To agree with you in different words, I would you argue that you can compare it to a calculator. Without the reasoning, a calculator is basically useless. I can tell you that 1.1(22 * 12 * 3) = 871.2 but it’s impossible to know what that number means or why it’s important from the information there. An LLM works the same way, I give it an equation (“prompt”) and it does some math to give me a response which is useless without context. It doesn’t actually answer the words in the prompt, it does (at best) guess-work based off the “value” of the text
Asking the machine to think for you makes you stupid. Incredible.
And no, you can’t compare that to a calculator or any other program. A calculator will not do the whole reasoning for you.
