(working with the assumption we mean stuff like ChatGPT) mKay... Tho math and logic is A LOT more than just statistics. At no point did we prove that statistics alone is enough to reach the point of cognition. I'd argue no statistical model can ever reach cognition, simply because it averages too much. The input we train it on is also fundamentally flawed. Feeding it only text skips the entire thinking and processing step of creating an answer. It literally just take texts and predicts on previous answers what's the most likely text. It's literally incapable of generating or reasoning in any other way then was already spelled out somewhere in the dataset. At BEST, it's a chat simulator (or dare I say...language model?), it's nowhere near an inteligence emulator in any capacity.
