Claim is LLM exhibit reasoning, particularly in coding and logic. Observation is mere parroting of training data. Observations trump claims.

Read the parent post. The claim is LLMs can't reason.

The evidence is using one instance of the LLM parroting training data while completely ignoring contradicting evidence where the LLM created novel answers to novel prompts out of thin air.

>Observations trump claims.

No. The same irrational hallucinations that plague LLMs are plaguing human reasoning and trumping rational thinking.
