AI flunks logic test: Multiple studies reveal illusion of reasoning

techspot.com Cal Jeffrey 2025-09-18 04:17:00

Bottom line: More and more AI companies say their models can reason. Two recent studies say otherwise. When asked to show their logic, most models flub the task – proving they're not reasoning so much as rehashing patterns. The result: confident answers, but not intelligent ones. Apple researchers have uncovered a key weakness in today's most hyped AI systems – they falter at solving puzzles that require step-by-step reasoning.
