Ask the AI to answer something totally new (not matching any existing training data) and watch what happen... It’s highly probable that the answer won’t be logical.
Reasoning is being able to improvise a solution with provided inputs, past experience and knowledge (formal or informal).
AI or should i say Machine Learning are not able to perform that today. They are only mimicking reasoning.
DeepSeek shows that exactly this capability can (and does) emerge. So I guess that proves that ML is capable of reasoning today?
Could be! I didn't test it (yet) so i’m won't take the commercial / demo / buzz as proof.
There is so much BS sold under the name of ML, selling dreams to top executives that i have after to bring back to earth as the real product is finally not so usable in a real production environment.
I absolutely agree with that, and I'm very critical of any commercial deployments right now.
I just don't like when people say "these things can't think or reason" without ever defining those words. It (ironically) feels like stochastic parrots - repeating phrases they've heard without understanding them.
