From TFA's conclusions section:
"Open debates over whether we describe LLMs as understanding language, and whether to describe their actions using agency-related words like know or try, are largely separate from the questions that I discuss here (Bender & Koller, 2020; Michael, 2020; Potts, 2020). We can evaluate whether systems are effective or ineffective, reliable or unreliable, interpretable or uninterpretable, and improving quickly or slowly, regardless of whether they are underlyingly humanlike in the sense that these words evoke."
