An interesting thing crossed my mind while reading your answer. There is a disability called Dyscalculia which means that a person does not understand numbers, the person can learn that 7 + 3 = 10, but does not understand why. I have a relative who has this disability and to me it seems that people having this disability have poor reasoning abilities similar to current LLMs like GPT-4. They can learn many languages fluently, they can express their opinion on complex subjects, but they still have poor reasoning. My thinking is that, with the current LLMs we've already created the language center of the brain, but the mathematical center still needs to be created as that one will give the AI reasoning abilities (just like in people who don't have Dyscalculia)
