I think expecting AI to either “fully understand” human language or not is a false dichotomy.

Right now, many AI systems can receive instructions through python (which, to me, look like unnatural language but can be spoken). Systems like CLIP and systems built around the GPT models can take in massaged English language prompts and return an AI generated output based on that.

I think we will asymptotically approach having our systems “fully understand” human language but I also think we’ve already arrived at your implied future of communicating with them through an unnatural, intermediate language. Isn’t that exactly what programming is for?
