I’m starting to get the feeling that we’ve created a human simulator, not a device for artificial reasoning. It’s a highly searchable database of the aggregate of most publicly accessible human knowledge.
A reasoning engine it certainly is not either. Vendors try to shoehorn it into that purpose like OpenAI with their o models. But I think that's more because of the popularity of LLMs. Other types of AI models will be better at this.
I think eventually the LLM will just handle the human interaction and behind it will be a host of more specialised models to provide the actual content. For stuff like reasoning, knowledge, calculation etc.
