“LLMs can’t self-correct in reasoning tasks, DeepMind study finds“

Anyone who says otherwise is either ignorant of the underlying function of llms or trying to sell you something.

This is just wrong lol.

The needless condescension of your “lol” feels a bit premature.
How can you have self correction without superintelligence?
The study didn't "find" (discover) what they claim, rather, they didn't find validation that it "can" (the implementation of which varies per observer, sub-perceptually).
If you had to code something like this at work for a different domain, I bet you'd have no problem realizing that a nullable boolean is required to accurately model the problem space.
And this isn't just a one off, this is a systemic, institutional shortcoming, I encounter several instances of it every day just in my regular social media feeds.
