I'm sorry, but "LLMs can't reason in 2025" is a truly embarrassing take.
You can literally watch them reason IN PLAIN ENGLISH in front of your very own eyes.
Reasoning Deniers are the flat earthers of AI
"Ackchyually one paper says" bro JUST LOOK UP
You can TRIVIALLY prove yourself that they can generate novel ideas - just ask it to "invent 10 things no human has ever thought of before" or a million other similar prompts.
And, I'm sorry to inform you of this, but if you can't get even an LLM to generate A SINGLE PIECE of new information, then you are the stochastic parrot.
Btw, that paper NEVER said LLMs can't reason at all, just that they have SOME limitations. No shit?? Insanely bad takes on the TL today
