> GPT is generally intelligent.

Besides the fact that it has literally no idea of the meaning of what it writes ?

Seems to be doing doing a better job than you giving your reading comprehension.

If you have anything to say other than "it's not real understanding!...just because", I'd be happy to hear it.

Feel free to enlighten me! I'd be happy to hear how an llm understand things it's not made to understand

I've been reading all I can find online about llms and no one besides reddit tech bros defend that they have "understanding" or know anything about "meaning", quite the contrary actually

Anyone who use these tools knows it for a fact, it's very easy to make them fail in a way that absolutely proves without any shadow of a doubt that they don't have these capabilities

Here is a good article with experts opinions and sources: https://jeremyhadfield.com/why-llms-will-not-understand-lang...

It's just one, you'll find dozens, all going in the same direction

Nice knee jerk reaction btw
