"Instead, (AIs) attempt to replicate the reasoning steps observed in their training data."
When I did simple tests, it involved variations of “What is two plus two plus one” — my reasoning is that “two plus two equals four” would show up a lot in training data (it did). Different LLM’s tried to discard, ignore or even say “that’s not a valid equation” (Google’s Bard).
Alfred would have none of it and created his own mathematics.
Google’s Bard would just get pissy and PROVE I was a dumb hoomaan.
Alfred showed me mathematically how it was done.
2 + 2 + 1 = 3 because, after all that addition YOU GOTTA subtract 2.
