I sorta agree with you, but replying to "LLM can't reason" with "an LLM says they do" is wild

I don't have a strong opinion if LLMs can reason or not. I think they can a bit but not very well. I think that also applies to many humans though. I was stuck that to my eyes GPT5's take on the question seemed better thought out than Garry Marcus's who is pretty biased to the LLMs are rubbish school.

I asked ChatGPT and it agrees with the statement that it is indeed wild
