Abstract
Even while AI based on large language models makes enormous advances, many AI researchers and pundits argue that it LLMs are an inadequate basis for AI because they do not support exact logical and probabilistic reasoning. I argue in response that LLMs can and are using tools to perform such normative reasoning, and thus are in face already examples of general intelligence.
期刊介绍:
AI Magazine publishes original articles that are reasonably self-contained and aimed at a broad spectrum of the AI community. Technical content should be kept to a minimum. In general, the magazine does not publish articles that have been published elsewhere in whole or in part. The magazine welcomes the contribution of articles on the theory and practice of AI as well as general survey articles, tutorial articles on timely topics, conference or symposia or workshop reports, and timely columns on topics of interest to AI scientists.
