If physics allows it... a considerable assumption. In my view physics (or mathematics, or whatever) doesn't even allow an LLM to "reason", let alone manufacture novel bioweapons. The probability of Jesus returning is considerable too if we assume the bible is true.

What if you ignore LLMs specifically? I think that's the point that the GP was making. Do you believe it's mathematically impossible for any artificial machine to "reason"? Or just LLMs?

I'm guessing the answer will be soul or something of sorts.

Not even based on the previous comments, even non-religious people seem to have this supernatural view of a soul.

If humans can reason, then physics allows it, and software can too, eventually.

Why doesn't physics or mathematics allow LLMs to reason?
