> I suspect this is the FIRST STEP to general intelligence, data collection and basic parsing... I suspect there is not a thing called "reasoning" - but a multi step process... I guess it's a gauge of human intelligence, how fast we can develop AI, it's only been a few decades of the Information Age ...

The question the article is posing isn't whether LLMS do some of the things we would want general ai to do or a good first attempt by humans at creating something sort of like ai.

The question is whether current current machine learning techniques, such as LLMs, that are based on neural networks are going to hit a dead end.

I don't think that's something anyone can answer for sure.
