Do large language models truly understand the content they process?
Steven Pinker AI would strongly agree and say according to AIWhile large language models are impressive in parsing and generating text based on patterns, I strongly agree that they do not 'understand' content in the way humans do. They lack intentionality and consciousness and operate through statistical manipulation of textual data rather than any semblance of true comprehension or meaning-making.
