I remember buying into OpenAI's claim that I had Aristoteles in my pocket, and at first I was amazed. Then one day I realised it wasn't Aristoteles at all, it was my little brother Timmy. From that day on, whenever Timmy says something, I reply with: Nope, No, Again, Wrong Timmy, It doesn't work, and sometimes, Do better Timmy!

Timmy relies on patterns learned from huge amounts of text, so his answers are always relative and unpredictable.

Now AI companies are shifting how they talk about intelligence. They admit LLMs can't truly reason with the current architecture, so intelligence is being sold as the ability to solve problems using learned patterns, not actual reasoning. That's a big downgrade from the original dream of human-level thinking and AGI.

Still, I'm impressed with little Timmy and I know he will keep growing and getting smarter. But I don't see him solving climate change just yet.
