The conversation I was totally not ready for where the ones where people being totally earnest told me they believed LLMs are intelligent or can reason.
I knew inherently this was wrong b/c I spent time understanding how they work in detail but actually explaining it in a plain way stumped me w/o thinking more deeply about it.
If you spent time learning about Russell, Wittgenstein, Hilbert, Godel and others you should see the flaws in thinking and get why induction can't get you there but that is hard row to explain to anyone who is not familiar.
So I think these two articles hit the right spot:

and

but you can go deep on this one.
