#[0] that’s not what I claim. I claim that the people talking about “understanding” do not themselves have the very understanding that they are taking about.
They are literally just doing the same thing they talk about ChatGPT doing: putting likely words into sentences that sound good.
Smarter people than me and you have gone down crazy rabbit holes in this area for centuries.
