    If you can give AI a deeply complex code base and ask it to find the likely cause of an obscure bug, and the solution is right, then you’ll have to acknowledge that some form of reasoning is going on, no?

    Absolutely not. LLMs are just prediction engines for words.

    If a LLM has the right answer, it only means that the model had the correct training data for your issue. Nothing more.

        What do you mean? That’s exactly how LLMs work. That’s why they “hallucinate”.

          No they hallucinate because they lose context but are tasked to answer anyways. They also don’t really lose context as much as they did a year ago.

          Their training data has nothing to do with it unless you’re using a local one without web access.
