LLMs can’t reason — they just crib reasoning-like steps from their training data (pivot-to-ai.com)

yeah partly this

and also the other kinds of issues: touchscreens are (even now still) a vastly more complicated engineering item to add than simple toggle switches, and in many places they don't make sense or are a bad solution to pick

but in the hype of then, touchscreens everywhere! turning your lights on? touchscreen. starting your shower water running? touchscreen. opening your window? touchscreen. calling a flight attendant? touchscreen. running your microwave? touchscreen. configuring your fridge temperature? touchscreen.

so, y'know, the usual "this new technology will save us, on everything" bullshit that industries seem so prone to. same reason as why we're seeing so much llm-everywhere bullshit
