Comment by Simon Thorne

Senior Lecturer in Computer Science at Cardiff Metropolitan University researching AI, machine learning, and technology risk.
Large language models are exceptionally good at generating convincing language, but this is not the same thing as genuine understanding. Our research shows that many of the weaknesses we see in AI today can be traced back to the fact that that LLM learning approaches are not the equivalent to human socialisation or participation in social life.
