I think one of the great lessons of our age will be that things being apparently equivalent, or in more applied terms "good enough," are not equal to equality.

What is this corresponding Wikipedia page?

In my personal opinion it is reasonable to define "reasoning" as requiring sentience.

It's not someone "deciding," it's a black box algorithm.

How can you learn about how people spoke and the patterns that dictate how that changed over time if all you care about is what is considered technically correct at the moment?

The crux of the problem is "what is reasoning?" Of course it's easy enough to call the outputs "equivalent enough" and then use that to say the processes are therefore also "equivalent enough."

Could it be said that reasoning requires intent?

My manfriend is on ozempic and he always complains about how it makes him alternate between constipation and diahrrea. So it was funny to me to see it become a meme.

See: "This is an impulse with no justification." In that sense yes my justification absolutely can be vibes, and it is! Suck it!

Would I be crazy to say that the difference between reasoning and computation is sentience? This is an impulse with no justification but it rings true to me.

Yes yes yes we're all aware that these are word predictors and don't actually know anything or reason. But these random dice are somehow able to give reasonably seemingly well-educated answers a majority of the time and the fact that these programs don't technically know anything isn't going to slow the train down any.

I don't know the reason for the disparity, but I do know we've spent... how many decades at this point? trying and failing to correct for it. At some point I feel compelled to consider the possibility that our scope is wrong.

I have GOT to find a way to describe more things like this.

From my perspective this is like doing a study on how much the average person can bench and then concluding that society is unfair towards women because they bench less. That is to say I just don't take it for granted that the conclusion is "society is unfair (in this particular regard)."

No, I am obviously not saying math ends with algebra.
