Here's a trivial example to illustrate the difference between pattern recognition and reasoning and it impacts behavior generation: let's say you encounter, for the very first time, a glass door with ⅃⅃Uꟼ written on it.

Pattern recognition: nearest neighbor is "PULL", I've learned to associate that with pulling the door. I pull. Reasoning: that's a mirror image of "PULL". Must be written on the other side. The door will open by pulling towards the other side, i.e. pushing from this side. I push

Only multi-step reasoning (which is slow and resource-intensive) enables zero-shot adaptation to novel situations. Meanwhile, pattern recognition makes navigating well-known situations faster and more efficient.

Wouldn't this still be pattern recognition? You have seen before how a glass door works, and you know that it mirrors the letters on the other side. You are accustomed to 3D space and know how push/pull doors work. Knowing these patterns, you know to push the door instead of pull

I think he's saying that reasoning is when there are multiple distinct pattern matching steps that need to be combined in novel ways. Maybe that's also pattern matching. But the space of combined pattern matchers is exponentially bigger.

Isn't this the example from the book on System 1 (pattern reco) vs System 2 (reasoning)?

Right, every time we want to teach a robot to open doors somebody needs to hurry and label all of them
