@GaryMarcus Well, the reason Grok repeats this is that the scientific literature on the topic is already 99% garbage. You'd think that a reasoning model would be able to cut through it and avoid repeating the wrong statements.

The scientific literature is going to take a serious hit from the spread of the kind of garbage @skdh describes.

Asked Grok 3 to explain Bell's theorem. It gets it wrong just like all other LLMs I have asked because it just repeats confused stuff that has been written elsewhere rather than looking at the actual theorem.

The statement critiques the ability of reasoning models to discern accurate information from flawed scientific literature. It suggests that a model with deep comprehension could succeed where superficial models fail.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not directly harm but critiques the effectiveness of reasoning models, which is a neutral stance.
  2. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement promotes understanding by highlighting the need for deeper comprehension in reasoning models. [+1]
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in constructive criticism of reasoning models without personal attacks. [+1]
