Read Original

This article analyzes the debate on whether conversational AIs (LLMs) possess genuine reasoning abilities or simply recite memorized text from the internet.

The piece examines the role of memorization versus generalization in machine learning and questions if accumulating knowledge constitutes a form of intelligence.
