I recently saw a new LLM that was fooled by "20 pounds of bricks vs 20 feathers". These are not reasoning machines.

I recently had a computer tell me that 0.1 + 0.2 != 0.3. It must not be a math capable machine.

Perhaps it is more important to know the limitations of tools rather than dismiss their utility entirely due to the existence of limitations.

Well, yes. And "reasoning" is only something LLMs do coincidentally, to their function as sequence continuation engines. Like performing accurate math on rationale numbers, it can happen if you put in a lot of work and accept a LOT of expensive computation. Even then there exists computations that just are not reasonable or feasible.

Reminding folks to dismiss the massive propaganda engine pushing this bubble isn't "dismissing their utility entirely".

These are not reasoning machines. Treating them like they are will get you hurt eventually.
