I did say

> It's just generating text, in a coherent manner while following rhetoric processes as a solid attempt at logical thinking

So yeah, I do agree that they can make a very reasonable amount of reasoning. As a matter of fact, they reason about things better then an average Joe off the street ime.

That's entirely unrelated to what I said though, I think you misinterpreted/misunderstood what I wrote earlier.

They can make solid attempts at reasoning, its just not grounded in reality. It just applies these rhetoric processes to the current text - but it doesn't understand wherever it's actually correctly reasoned. Hence the answer "you're right to push back on this" is just the model being a sycophant. The sentence does not mean that anything of value has been communicated in either direction, and thinking that it has means the person in question is suffering from ai psychosis
