Thanks for posting!

Just in case people in the community are interested, I also wrote a blog post recently on a related subject, namely whether large language models can be said to "understand" language and how we'd know: https://seantrott.substack.com/p/how-could-we-know-if-large-language

There are at least two opposing perspectives on the question, and one of them (the "axiomatic rejection view") basically adopts the Searle position; the other (the "duck test view") adopts a more functionalist position.
