The Illusion of Thinking | Apple Just Exposed AI’s Fake Reasoning

Video Description

Apple dropped a paper that challenges everything we believe about reasoning in AI. Titled **"The Illusion of Thinking"**, it reveals how models like Claude, and DeepSeek fail dramatically when faced with real logical complexity. 📉 They go from solving 3-disc puzzles… to completely failing on 7-disc logic tasks — not because of token limits, but because they simply give up. 💥 In this video, we break down: - What “reasoning” means in AI (Chain-of-Thought, reflection, tool use) - Apple’s Towers of Hanoi experiment - Why performance collapses even with step-by-step prompts - Anthropic’s response: “The Illusion of the Illusion of Thinking” - What this means for AGI, Nvidia’s boom, and the future of reasoning 🔎 Are today’s LLMs just mimicking thought — or actually thinking? https://www.linkedin.com/in/bytemonk/ 📌 Timestamps 0:00 – Apple Just Shook AI With This Paper 1:21 – What Reasoning in AI *Actually* Means 2:04 – Chain-of-Thought and the Illusion of Steps 3:23 – The Towers of Hanoi Breakdown 4:33 – Models Stop Trying When It Gets Hard 5:20 – Not Just One Puzzle: Other Logic Tests 8:00 – Why This Challenges the AGI Hype 8:48 – Anthropic’s Rebuttal: “The Illusion of the Illusion” 9:26 – So...
