How does an LLM ‘think’ and why does it struggle with math(s) and logic?
Anthropic’s research on circuit tracing shows LLMs estimate, adjust, and sometimes get it wrong. In poetry, different pathways shape responses that feel intentional but aren’t always accurate.

The biggest problem with using generative AI is that it requires expert level knowledge to spot whether or not its output is twaddle.
Eg. Teachers need expert knowledge of pedagogy to know whether AI lessons are rubbish.
The thought of a novice student using AI to help them learn is nonsensical.
