You can't tell me something "can't reason" or "has no intelligence" without also telling me what reasoning or intelligence is. Or what you think it is. That's the technical detail that's missing. From what I know, whether LLMs reason or not is an open question - are they stochastic parrots? are they not? I dunno, but since you evidently do, so please show your reasoning and evidence. Just because a claim is repeated over and over doesn't mean it's true (or false).

> even a normal person to do it. Do you?

There are intelligent people capable of reasoning with dyscalculia. Sorry, but being unable to do arithmetic is not enough of an argument.

I have no idea what Quicken is, an honestly, ray-tracing (using the definition I'm familiar with) is a mechanical process that doesn't require any intelligence.

EDIT: Here's an article that has the technical details (and it's not a 15-minute read): https://www.theguardian.com/technology/article/2024/aug/06/a... The original article is 80% PR fluff aimed at emotional influence, the one from Guardian is just good journalism. I have an allergy to the former.
