Definition of Reasoning: "the action of thinking about something in a logical, sensible way."

LLMs don't think, they extrapolate. They are a filter, not capable of thought or reason. You can't reason with an LLM but plenty of people have tried and it fooled them well enough.

Totally! I'm aghasted of how many people think LLMs are capable of reasoning and thoughts.

They would argue "but brains are just that, a big filter".LLMs don't get even close to what unicelulars can handle, and they don't have a brain.
