Don’t confuse plausible text generation with real #understanding.
TBH people do this a lot, too.
Stop pretending #language is intelligence.
Don’t confuse plausible text generation with real #understanding.
Fluent answers feel smart, even if—especially when—they aren’t.
Knowing what #AI can do is cool, understanding what it simply can’t is smart.
LLMs give off a vibe of brilliance with words.
They read, remix, and generate text.
But their power is linguistic, not cognitive.

“As we come to inhabit a world where we can #trust the reality of nothing that we see or read, we will be less able to give our trust to anyone, less able to dialogue constructively and form #friendships with other people.”
“A sentence is … a feelable thought, a thought that impresses its sense not just on our #understanding, but on our hearing, our sense of rhythm and proportion. It is a pattern of felt sense.”
