Key points
  • The hippocampus enables abstract reasoning; LLMs mirror this through pattern-based language prediction.
  • Future AI could emulate human inference by integrating multimodal learning and reinforcement methods.
  • AI's evolution hinges on bridging prediction and reasoning, moving toward deeper, human-like understanding.

Facts, reasoning, ethics, ect. are outside the scope of an LLM. Expecting otherwise is like expecting a stand mixer to bake a cake. It is helpful for a decent part of the process, but typically is lacking in the using heat to process batter into a tasty desert area. An AI like one from the movies would require many more pieces than an LLM can provide and saying otherwise is a a category mistake*.

That isn't to say that something won't be developed eventually, but it would be FAR beyond an LLM if it is even possible.
