    When given explicit instructions to follow models failed because they had not seen similar instructions before.

    This paper shows that there is no reasoning in LLMs at all, just extended pattern matching.

      I’m not trained or paid to reason, I am trained and paid to follow established corporate procedures. On rare occasions my input is sought to improve those procedures, but the vast majority of my time is spent executing tasks governed by a body of (not quite complete, sometimes conflicting) procedural instructions.

      If AI can execute those procedures as well as, or better than, human employees, I doubt employers will care if it is reasoning or not.

          Well - if you want to devolve into argument, you can argue all day long about “what is reasoning?”
