The current foundational models have basic reasoning with glimpses of brilliant reasoning.

LLMs have almost no fluid intelligence or capacity for abstract inductive reasoning, relying on crystallized intelligence for basically everything.

If anything their capability of abstract inductive reasoning is way beyond the average human given how much better LLMs are at solving math problems, it's the paradox that they can do complicated reasoning before they can do intuitive peep-pe-boo.

abstract inductive reasoning requires dynamic learning in unfamiliar contexts. All the benchmarks which measure this specifically (in particular, task composition) see LLMs fail catastrophically. There is quite a lot of research published on these limitations now.

I think they have some fluid intelligence, if somewhat brittle
