Does it actually have a concept of time? Does it understand causality?
1 comments

There are papers on that, such as https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.15319. Time series modeling will not bring about an understanding of causality except in a weak sense https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granger_causality. To truly connect a cause and effect you need a graphical model. And automated causal discovery, the hardest part of which is proposing the nodes of the graph, is a nascent field.
