Richard Feynman once said:
"If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics"
I would expand that to:
"If you think you understand anything, you don't understand anything"
Or perhaps a deviation:
"If you think you understand something, you don't understand anything"
Why?
Approximately half the world thinks some kind of God created the Universe, the other half doesn't.
When you have a split of opinions like that, it shows we don't know.
If we don't know what created it, we can't know what anything inside it really is.
Therefore attempting to answer that question is a life long mission that will be guaranteed to fail, but, if you do it right, will be a hell of a journey of discovery.
You sound like Chatty without the bullet points.
I sacked him too 😂
You could argue that no LLM reasons, or that a diffusion model reasons.
Reasoning is a human abstract term that we don't understand, we don't know we don't understand it because we take it for granted.
We have to use human terms to describe non human systems. This bases them into an existing model we hold. We then expand that model using the reality that it connects to. Only over time do we realise it had no relation to the understanding we started with.
I choose understanding over technical correctness, because technical correctness is a destination we will approach, but never arrive at. Understanding is a binary state.
