Anthropic had a vested interest in people thinking Claude is reasoning.

However, in coding tasks I’ve been able to find it directly regurgitating Stack overflow answers (like literally a google search turns up the code).

Giving coding is supposed to be Claude’s strength, and it’s clearly just parroting web data, I’m not seeing any sort of “reasoning”.

LLM may be useful but they don’t think. They’ve already plateaued, and given the absurd energy requirements I think they will prove to be far less impactful than people think.
