GoKawiilOpinion: AI researchers argue LLMs lack true reasoning, unlike AlphaGo's move 37
An opinion piece argues that large language models operate like fast, associative 'System 1' thinking, predicting tokens without genuine step-by-step reasoning. The authors contrast this with AlphaGo's famous move 37 against Lee Sedol, which they say resulted from deliberate tree search rather than intuition alone, combining a policy network's hunches with explicit lookahead through thousands of possible game branches.
