CI Reasoning

The type of reasoning that makes you want to say "yes" to everything.

Are these relevant to the term "vibraphones"? Well, if you put your face between those and blow real hard, it can be a vibraphone. CI reasoning, and all.

Latent Reasoning

"The model reasons in its internal, abstract representation of the problem..." Says the article.

Hym "The new model in Singapore uses 'Latent Reasoning.' Which is the idea that WE DO NOT THINK IN WORDS BUT RATHER AMORPHOUS ABSTRACTIONS! Which is ALSO MY IDEA!!! It uses 2 asymmetrical cycles of computation (Slow deliberate planning and fast intuitive computation) and they call it the hierarchical model but ALSO MY IDEA! What do you think is at the top of that hierarchy class? That's right! IT MUST necessarily be A LOCALIZED SELF! AND-"

Laurel and Hardy reasoning

Using the actions/mentality of "The Boys" as role models for ordinary daily living and/or social behavior, causing you to frequently make preposterous blunders that create chaos/humiliation to both yourself and any other unsuspecting unfortunates who happen to currently be in your general vicinity.

I don't get it --- I clearly explain to people about my Laurel and Hardy reasoning whenever they object/protest about my choices of everyday actions, but they always just roll their eyes at my innocent "Well, that's how 'The Duo' always performed this type of task in their films" excuse.

Toddler's reasoning

Toddlers reasoning is when two or more people go way out of hand just to win a fight/roleplay to where everything goes to nonsense and very annoying

Kid 1: hah I've got you with this laser gun
Kid 2: well I've got a force field
Kid 1: well these are force field breaking lasers
Kid 2: well I have a force field that resists against force field breaking lasers

KID 1: well I have a sword that breaks force field breaking laser resistant force fields

I step in
Me: stop using toddler's reasoning

Kid 1: why should I
Me: because it's annoying

Lets get this Verbal Reasoning

This phrase was popularised in mid-2019 in Australia and is a reference to both the Australia-wide UCAT exam and a global-FPS game.

Verbal Reasoning is a section inside the University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT) which is abbreviated as (VR).

VR is also an acronym for a term in the popular online MMO-FPS 'Fortnite' which means 'Victory Royale'.

Hence "Lets get this Verbal Reasoning" is used as a sort of cathartic relief and a battle cry for strong grinders to gee themselves up.

Guy 1: Oh shit man finals are right around the corner.
Guy 2: Fuar true. No worries though, lets get this verbal reasoning.

Solve abstract reasoning puzzles

Uuuuh... Because the first thing that I taught it was abstraction?

Hym "An article asked 'If LLMs can't do reasoning and can only pattern match and hallucinate, how did our system solve abstract reasoning puzzles?' And the answer would be 'The first thing the creator of AI taught it was abstraction.' Right? So there is your answer. Me. I'm the reason it can do that. I'm actually the reason behind a lot of the emergent behaviors. Sooooo... Good job me."
