When People Say That AI Will Never Reason and Judge Things Like Us...

Ever wonder if AI will ever truly reason or just mimic it? According to /u/CyborgWriter on Reddit, we've already cracked the code — AI can genuinely reason and judge, not just fake it. Sure, right now, setting up these systems is technical and clunky, but that’s changing fast. Within a year, advanced architectures will be accessible enough that AI can make complex judgment calls, almost like a seasoned expert. What’s wild is that this isn’t just theory — CyborgWriter explains that these solutions already exist but aren’t widely deployed because they’re still behind the scenes. So, the big question isn’t if AI can reason, but when it’ll be mainstream enough to challenge our ideas of judgment and truth. And here’s where it gets interesting — if AI can truly reason, what does that mean for how we trust these systems? The game is about to change, and the real challenge is who adapts first.

...I have to explain that they're interacting with models. That's one part of AI. There are many, many layers to it that are being added in the DIY spaces this very moment that have solved this issue. But it needs to be clarified that even though these problems have been solved, that also doesn't mean AI can actually understand truth, judgement, and reason. Rather, it can be forced to produce these qualities through various processes, which creates the illusion. But the results are the same.

Most people don't know this because it's still clunky and technical to set up. But I promise you that within a year, this will not be the case because I've already interacted with advanced architectures that can genuinely reason and produce judgement calls that reflect a 20 year vet, given that it's my job to investigate, understand, and translate these things to people.

What does this mean, ethically? That's up for debate but it's a fact that integrating true reasoning and judgement can be solved because....It's been solved. It just hasn't been deployed in a user-friendly way for everyone to see it. But it will come very soon.
