Do you have some principled definition of what AI is or what it means to "understand"? GPT-3 outputs certainly show enough high-level non-scripted information processing to qualify as "understanding" in my book – not human understanding, clearly, but an artificial one. AI researchers do in fact educate the public. [1] They face serious pushback from obscurantists like Hofstadter [2] and Marcus who refuse to commit to any definition and instead go by hunches about what architecture or data representation can support "understanding" and what certain behaviors indicate. 1. https://www.economist.com/by-invitation/2022/06/09/artificial-neural-networks-are-making-strides-towards-consciousness-according-to-blaise-aguera-y-arcas https://www.economist.com/by-invitation/2022/06/09/artificia... 2. https://www.economist.com/by-invitation/2022/06/09/artificial-neural-networks-today-are-not-conscious-according-to-douglas-hofstadter https://www.economist.com/by-invitation/2022/06/09/artificia...
