   Jet planes don't fly by flapping their wings...

      Birds don't fly by producing thrust out of their asses... what the heck that comparison does even mean?

         Don't be fooled into thinking that planes can fly.

            They do fly for sure, but they're not birds. This comparison between fly and intelligence is worthy of the most vulgar bar talk

               I disagree. I haven't finished the article yet, but it smacks of arguing for mechanism over result.

               If by some mechanism other than what a gatekeeper would call 'reasoning', a machine produces outputs that approach indistinguishable from 'well reasoned', the argument that it didn't get there by reasoning is, well, not useful at the very least.

               Your last sentence is identical to your first sentence in your other comment. How can we be sure that you are reasoning and not just a stochastic parrot?
