> do is not reasoning
What some people do is «not reasoning», for lack of training, or for lack of resources (e.g. time - Herbert Simon's "satisficing"), or for lack of ability. I had to write since the late 2022 boom that "if the cousin you write about is consistently not using the faculty of intelligence you can't call her "intelligent" for the purpose of this discussion". I have just written in another parallel discussion that «There is a difference between John who has a keen ethical sense, Ron who does not exercise it, and Don who is a clinical psychopath with missing cerebral modules making it completely Values-blind» - of course if we had to implement ethics we would "backward engineer" John and use Don as a counter-model.
> can you guess what emotion
Let me remind you my words: «Without proper reasoning you can get some "heuristic", which can only be useful if you only needed an unreliable result based on "grosso modo" criteria». Is that problem one that has "true solutions" or one that has "good enough solutions"?
Let me give another example. Bare LLMs can be "good" (good enough) e.g. in setting capitalization and punctuation in "[a-z0-9 ]" texts, such as raw subtitles. That is because they operate without explicitly pondering the special cases in which it is subtle to unequivocally decide whether the punctuation there "should have been a colon or a dash", and such cases are generally rare, so heuristic seems to suffice.
Similar engines are useless and/or dangerous in all cases in which correct responses are critical. Important problems are those which require correct responses.
