Becareful with mixing up 'can' and 'does'.

Computers right now do not understand language, but that does not mean that they cannot. We don't know what it takes to bridge the gap from stochastic parrot to understanding in computers, however from the mistakes LLMs make right now, it appears we have not found it yet.

It is possible that silicon based computer architecture cannot support the processing and information storage density/latency to support understanding. It's hard to guage the likelihood this is true given how little we know about how understanding works in the brain.
