They lack many abilities of simple life forms, but they can also do things like complex abstract reasoning, which only humans and LLMs can do.

They don't reason. They can generate an illusion of it through a statistical model.

You don't gotta work hard to break the illusion, either.

People really really really want to believe this thing and I do not understand why. I wish I did lol

Ok, it’s an “illusion” of reasoning. Doesn’t change that it got a gold medal in the IMO or helped me fix a race condition the other day.
