Verbosity is not faithfulness: an architectural argument that reasoning models cannot perform faithful inference [D]
"Your model's CoT is just post-hoc vibes and we have the math to prove it."
Explain Like I'm Normal
A new architectural critique argues that current LLMs cannot perform 'faithful' reasoning because the internal logic and the final answer are generated by the same probabilistic process. This means the chain-of-thought is an influential narrative rather than a strict logical constraint. True AGI might require a paradigm shift where reasoning and inference are decoupled to prevent the model from hallucinating its own logic.
