Quick Takes on LLM General Reasoning
Are LLMs general reasoners? Not just LLMs: You can substitute LLM for foundation models or general purpose transformers If you define “general reasoning” as “thinking carefully and generalising that thinking to any novel domains” then yes, I think current LLMs are definitely capable of it. If you mean any novel domains that humans can generalise to, I lean to yes for more advanced LLMs. If you mean generalisation to literally everything ever, then no, humans are not general reasoners either....
