LLMs struggle with math reasoning, because they can't conjecture

LLMs struggle with reasoning --- period, the end.

They are fundamentally probabilistic, not deterministic. This makes them unreliable for any application where deterministic logic is required --- like math.

Don't take my word for it, just ask your favorite LLM.

--- "Can you guarantee your results are reliable?".

While I strive to provide accurate information and results based on the data I have, I can't guarantee absolute accuracy in every case.

--- "Do you hallucinate?"

Yes, I can "hallucinate" in the sense that I might sometimes generate information that is factually incorrect, misleading, or doesn't fully align with reality.
