That's using many words to say very little. It reads like a copypasta. Honestly, anyone using the words "truly understand" (or "truly" *anything, really) in any AI conversation should be automatically banned from said discourse. That word combination should be tabooed[1] because it's semantically empty and impossible to define without ending up going in circles.
In any case, I fail to see the relevance to my post. I only a) said that NNs can learn categories (an obvious fact) and b) conjectured that the categories "factual" and "creative" may be learnable.

- outofpaper 2y agoSharlin's response feels knee jerk. And they likely don't truly understand that when conversing with an LLM they are not talking to an LLM but participating in a generative text exchange. LLMs can't ever understand anything anymore than a book can as they are static things. Until we move beyond transformers we're only ever collaborating in the hallucinations.
