If we’re talking about Artificial INTELLIGENCE, then we should talk about “reasoning” as an ability to apply logic and not just match patterns. Because pure pattern matching is decidedly NOT reasoning, because if the pattern changes even a little (change the names and numbers, keeping the logic intact) all models start showing failures. So, yes, some people decided to reframe what “reasoning” means in this context (moving goalposts), but I’m pretty sure that 99% people who use the term when referring to AI don’t mean reasoning like that. Regardless, it’s not actually that of an interesting discussion, not do I actually care that much. So, sure, I’ll give you that point.
