@JadeCole2112 @elander Have actually started an essay (no time immediately to work on it) called the Now-vs-Later fallacy.

@elander @GaryMarcus The thing is, the people saying this aren't stupid people - they are researchers in AI, successful business people, etc.

Some of this is also vision-casting - like what it WILL be able to do EVENTUALLY, but talking about it like it's imminent.

@GaryMarcus @JadeCole2112 I always quote George Carlin when people ask similar questions:

"Think of how stupid the average person is and then realize half of them are stupider than that!"

I call it "Carlin's razor".

Often good to combine with Hanlon's razor to calm ones nerves a bit.

@GaryMarcus How can anyone look at these obvious errors and still think these LLMs are doing any kind of reasoning? It is wilful blindness.

Cᴏɴᴛᴇsᴛ!!!

Reply below with screenshots of your most hilarious goat/boat/wolf/river-crossing style problem LLM fails. Feel free to vary the classic problem however you like.

Winners will be included in an upcoming Marcus on AI newsletter, where I discuss what these fails…

The statement and image do not constitute public discourse. The statement is lighthearted and conversational, suggesting a playful idea for art inspired by a candy brand in response to a discussion about a fallacy. It does not engage substantively with public issues, policies, or societal concerns.
