It is true, however, that the problem has been solved completely in the human-to-machine direction. The output of the current-generation LLMs is completely off base in many cases, but they certainly understand what they are being asked, for any useful definition of 'understand.'

I'm much more impressed by GPT's ability to handle input than I am in its ability to generate output. It's arguably as good at reading comprehension as most humans.
