> "Humans are actually reasoning. LLMs are not.” Again, how would you measure such a thing?

Agreed. Humans reasoning? Critically thinking? What BS. Humans actually reasoning is not something I've experienced in the vast majority of interactions with others. Rather humans tend to regurgitate whatever half-truths and whole lies they've been fed over their lifetime. The earlier the lie, the more sacrosanct it is.

Humans actually avoid critical thinking as it causes them pain. Yes, this is a thing and there's research pointing to it.
