While it may seem that Apple is disrupting the AI industry by releasing this paper, it’s crucial for everyone to understand the limitations of large language models (LLMs). A few months ago, DeepSeek generated considerable buzz with its impressive capabilities, but those familiar with AI and LLMs recognized that it lacked true reasoning ability. This phenomenon has been referred to as the “Chain of Thought.”
The Chain of Thought approach doesn’t represent genuine understanding; rather, it introduces intermediary steps to clarify what the model is doing. For many, this can be misleading, as it may appear similar to actual reasoning. However, elaborating on thoughts is not the same as providing accurate explanations or reasoning that leads to truthful answers.
As we engage with these technologies, it’s essential to remain aware of their limitations and to distinguish between mere elaboration and authentic reasoning.
The illusion of thinking, like taking 10 seconds before answering in interviews, is all we humans need. 🙂
