AI Not So Clever
TECHNOLOGY 21 June 2025 - A new paper from Apple shows even the most sophisticated reasoning models fundamentally lack genuine cognitive abilities. They collapse at consistent computational complexity levels due to reliance on probabilistic pattern matching that merely imitates the look and feel of intelligence. This paper demolishes some of the AI hype and validates what prominent researchers like Meta's Chief AI Scientist Yann LeCun have been arguing —that current AI systems are sophisticated pattern-matching machines rather than thinking entities. Essentially little more than sophisticated predictive text generators. https://ml-site.cdn-apple.com/papers/the-illusion-of-thinking.pdf
