I periodically return to the Apollo 11 Journal: www.nasa.gov/history/alsj... There's a sense of being in the presence of a modern sacred text. It's interesting, too, because it's so nuts-and-bolts. But underlying it...

reasoning benchmarks (which have improved over time and were updated with a new graduate-level one last year!) but to say that it “absolutely cannot” feels like an overstatement.

Also, how you word your prompts and how much information you give it is important. When probed, it does acknowledge its mistakes and corrects itself. Now, I don’t know if that’s reasoning like how we understand reasoning. For that, all we have are the mathematical, scientific and commonsense

engineering, work projects, and yesterday when my nvidia geforce app stopped working (which it successfully debugged!). It often returns accurate and usable code and it can analyse data and be methodical BUT domain knowledge is still important and not trusting it blindly (at least not yet) is key.

While I agree that LLMs making up facts confidently is a problem (although Claude 3.5 feels like it’s gotten better at saying “I don’t know”), I disagree with the absoluteness of this statement. As for reasoning, I’ve worked alongside Claude (which I prefer) for many things - code, prompt

yes!! It feels so much more human-like and nuanced in the way it works with you. A lot of the times ChatGPT feels stiff, like it just wants the conversation to end.
