hegFdH··on Chain of Thought empowers transformers to solve inherently serial problems
The infinite monkey post was in response to this claim, which, like the universal approximation theorem, is useless in practice:

"We have mathematically proven that transformers can solve any problem, provided they are allowed to generate as many intermediate reasoning tokens as needed. Remarkably, constant depth is sufficient."

Like an LLM, you omit the context and browbeat people with the "truth" you want to propagate. Together with many political forbidden terms since 2020, let us now also ban "stochastic parrot" in order to have a goodbellyfeel newspeak.
