Keep in mind GPT 4 is multimodal and not just matching text.
Sorry for appearing to be completely off-topic, but do you have children? Observing our children as they're growing up, specifically the way they formulate and articulate their questions, has been a bit of a revelation to me in terms of understanding "reasoning".
I have a sister of a similar age to me who doesn't have children. My 7 year-old asked me recently - and this is a direct quote - "what is she for?"
I was pretty gobsmacked by that.
Reasoning? You decide(!)
I once asked my niece, a bit after she started really communicating, if she remembered what it was like to not be able to talk. She thought for a moment and then said, "Before I was squishy so I couldn't talk, but then I got harder so I can talk now." Can't argue with that logic.
The robots might know everything, but do they wonder anything?
Machines will have to wonder if they are to improve themselves, because that is literally the drive to collect more data, and you need good data to make good decisions.
Pattern matching? You decide
They may have equivalences, but they're separate forms of mathematics. I'd say the same applies to different algorithms or models of computation, such as neural nets.
I don’t have the language to explain the difference in a manner I find sufficiently precise. I was hoping others might.
