       No shit “this decline [in the capability of LLMs to perform logical reasoning through multiple clauses] is due to the fact that current LLMs are not capable of genuine logical reasoning; instead, they attempt to replicate the reasoning steps observed in their training data.”Paper from Apple engineers showing that genAI models don’t actually understand what they read but just regurgitate what they’ve seen like a puppy wanting to please its owner:https://arxiv.org/pdf/2410.05229

       This is apparently doing some numbers so I want to make it clear that I think this paper is purely part of a strategic move by Apple to save face and gracefully exit from the genAI hype cycle. Hopefully other companies will do the same.

       @CatherineFlick I'm sure the shareholders want to know why Apple isn't "seizing the future" or whatever

       @CatherineFlick How incredible that we (humans) can  uild a machine that can act like a puppy! That is a huge advanceLlms do much more. I  my work as a computer programmer it is invaluable as an advisorReplaced internet search almost 100%These are amazing machines. Overhyped? Well, duh! Capitalism requires that

       @worik if you think my comparison was literal I wish you all the best luck with using LLMs as your main search engine

       @CatherineFlick > I wish you all the best luck with using LLMs as your main search engineTo be fair, most of us *are* using one as our main search engine. That's what all the big search engines are under the hood, just without the chatbot-style interface. Which is one explanation for why the quality of search results has declined so much in recent years ....@worik
