    So if I asked you something at two different times in your life, the first time you knew the answer, and the second time you had forgotten our first conversation, that proves you are not a reasoning intelligence?

    Seems kind of disingenuous to say “the key to reasoning is memory”, then set up a scenario where an AI has no memory to prove it can’t reason.

        one was sent a few seconds after another, in the same conversation.

        You just said they were different conversations to avoid the context window.

        |You’re anthropomorphising it

        I was referring to you and your memory in that statement comparing you to an it. Are you not something to be anthropomorphed?

        |But let us pretend that it is able to “forget” info.

        That is literally all computers do all day. Read info. Write info. Override info. Don’t need to pretend a computer can do something they has been doing for the last 50 years.

        |Those two prompts were not sent on meaningfully “different times”

        If you started up two minecraft games with different seeds, but “at the exact same time”, you would get two different world generations. Meaningfully “different times” is based on the random seed, not chronological distance. I dare say that is close to anthropomorphing AI to think it would remember something a few seconds ago because that is how humans work.

        |And this test can be repeated over and over and over if you want

        Here is an AI with a context window

        |I’ll link again this paper because it shows that this was already studied.

        You linked to a year old paper showing that it already is getting the A->B, B->A thing right 30% of the time. Technology marches on, this was just what I was able to find with a simple google search

        |In no moment I said or even implied that the key to reasoning is memory

        |LLMs show awful logical reasoning … Thus they’re unable to hold knowledge.

        Oh, my bad. Got A->B B->A backwards. You said since they can’t reason, they have no memory.

            Yes, it is getting late and I don’t have time to discuss someone who reads three sentences into a paper proposing a fix and shouts “ah ha, the author agrees with me that there is a problem! You are an idiot, good day sir!”

            You successfully attack me without refuting anything I said, so congratulations and good night.

            This is blatantly obvious for anyone with at least basic reading comprehension. Unlike you, apparently

            So if I’m understanding you correctly:
            “Philosophical mental masturbation” = bad
            “Personal attacks because someone disagreed with you” = perfectly fine
