NO, LLMS ARE NOT "SCHEMING"

In 2024, we comfortably outpaced the Turing test with AI like OpenAI's o1. AI showcases impressive conversational abilities yet lacks human-like situational awareness - there are debates over whether LLMs are mere pattern learners or entities with reasoning skills. These models excel in replicating but struggle to prioritize patterns due to a lack of contextual understanding. The focus should remain on refining model training and evaluation methods instead of attributing human-like traits or intentions to AI systems.
