How Do You Teach an AI Model to Reason? With Humans

AI models are advancing at a rapid rate and scale. But what might they lack that (most) humans don’t? Common sense: an understanding, developed through real-world experiences, that birds can’t fly backwards, mirrors are reflective and ice melts into water. While such principles seem obvious to humans, they must be taught to AI models tasked
