Current ANN are probably just not big enough to properly reason. We’re still working with the equivalent of insect sized brains. We shouldn’t assume that future ANN will not be capable of deductive reasoning.
Also LLMs might not be the best approach for deductive reasoning, but LLMs are not the only architecture.

I recently made a comment that neural models cannot provide chain of reason, while symbolic methods can: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39759033
The vulnerability in the post is directly linked to that inability, in my opinion.
