    Huh, “book-learned”, that’s an interesting way to put it. I’ve been arguing for awhile that the bottleneck for LLMs might not be their reasoning ability, but the one-dimensionality of their data set.

    I don’t like both-sides-ing but I’m going to both-sides here: people on the internet have weird expectations for LLMs, which is strange to me because “language” is literally in the name. They “read” words, they “understand” words and their relationships to other words, and they “write” words in response. Yeah, they don’t know the feeling of being burned by a frying pan, but if you were numb from birth you wouldn’t either.

    Not that I think the op is a good example of this, the concept of “heat” is pretty well documented.
