Companies like OpenAI and Google will tell you that the next big step in generative AI experiences is almost here. ChatGPT’s big o1-preview upgrade is meant to prove that next-gen experience. o1-preview, available to ChatGPT Plus and other premium subscribers, can supposedly reason. Such an AI tool should be more useful when trying to find solutions to complex questions that require complex reasoning.
But if a new AI paper from Apple researchers is correct in its conclusions, then ChatGPT o1 and all other genAI models can’t actually reason. Instead, they’re simply matching patterns from their training data sets. They’re pretty good at coming up with solutions and answers, yes. But that’s only because they’ve seen similar problems and can predict the answer.
Apple’s AI study shows that changing trivial variables in math problems that wouldn’t fool kids or adding text that doesn’t alter how you’d solve the problem can significantly impact the reasoning performance of large language models.
