In a bold new research paper titled The Illusion of Thinking, Apple’s machine learning team just exposed a hard truth: today’s best “reasoning” AIs — Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, o3-mini — aren’t really reasoning. They’re just very good at faking it.
From logic puzzles like Tower of Hanoi to step-by-step challenges, Apple found that all these models eventually fail, give up when it gets hard, and collapse even when given the exact solution. The takeaway? We’re mistaking pattern matching for intelligence.
And the timing? Days before WWDC 2025. Apple isn’t trying to out-hype OpenAI or Google. They’re showing why trust, safety, and real-world performance matter more than AGI dreams.
We break down the paper’s findings, its implications for the AI race, and how Apple might be rewriting the rules of what “thinking machines” actually mean.
Watch now — because Apple just changed the conversation.
