>Do you think humans are logical machines? No, we are not. Therefore, do we not reason?

No, but we are conscious, and we know we are conscious, which doesn't require being a logical being too. LLMs on the other hand aren't conscious and there's zero evidence that they are. Thus, they don't reason, since this, unlike logic, does require consciousness.

Why not avoid re-definining things into a salad mix of poor logic until you can pretend that something with no evidence in its favor is real.

The idea that reasoning requires conciousness is very silly. That's not to mention that conciousness is such a poorly defined term in the first place.
