    Human learning requires understanding, which AI is not capable of.

    How could anyone know this?

    Is there some test of understanding that humans can pass and AIs can’t? And if there are humans who can’t pass it, do we consider then unintelligent?

    We don’t even need to set the bar that high. Is there some definition of “understanding” that humans meet and AIs don’t?

      It’s literally in the phrase “statically optimized.” This is like arguing for your preferred deity. It’ll never be proven but we have evidence to make our own conclusions. As it is now, AI doesn’t learn or understand the same way humans do.

        So you’re confident that human learning involves “understanding” which is distinct from “statistical optimization”. Is this something you feel in your soul or can you define the difference?
