It’s also not true, even Stephen Wolfram, who is a legitimate genius in the technical definition of genius, has to rework the definition of “understand” to avoid applying it to ChatGPT. Understanding, like intelligence, has to be defined in terms of thresholds of geometric associations, because that’s what our brain does. And guess what, that’s what LLMs do. It’s coordinates at the base layer. Doesn’t mean it’s conscious, but it’s definitely intelligence and understanding at the fundamental substrate. To redefine these words so that only humans can participate is just egotistical nonsense
