Whether AI systems' performance on intellectual tasks stems from encyclopedic knowledge, memorization, pattern matching, patience, or brute-force search rather than genuine insight, understanding, or novel reasoning — often argued in comparison with human cognition. Covers the mechanistic basis of observed AI capability; excludes benchmark contamination specifically and productivity effects of AI

AI systems sometimes make mistakes on problems that people ignorant of the relevant field could avoid.
