ChatGPT Does Not Understand Anything Part 1

From the best of season 1. Part 1 of my conversation with Alex Grzankowski.

It looks like ChatGPT understands what you’re asking. It looks like ChatGPT understands what it’s saying in reply. 

But that’s not the case.

Alex and I discuss what understanding is, for both people and machines and what it would take for a machine to understand what it’s saying.
