I am once again shilling the idea that someone should find a way to glue Prolog and LLMs together for better reasoning agents.

Thesis:

1. LLMs are bad at counting the number of r's in strawberry.

2. LLMs are good at writing code that counts letters in a string.

3. LLMs are bad at solving reasoning problems.

4. Prolog is good at solving reasoning problems.

5. ???

6. LLMs are good at writing prolog that solves reasoning problems.

Common replies:

1. The bitter lesson.

2. There are better solvers, ex. Z3.

3. Someone smart must have already tried and ruled it out.
