Connectionists: Fwd: Statistics versus “Understanding” in Generative AI.

[Keith Lambert]

Fair point and I’ll try to do better. That being said, this entire talk is
filled with goal post shifting examples. I mean you literally talk about
creating a sequel to the Turing test, which would be definitionally a goal
post shift, but I don’t want to get mired down in this….I believe my points
stand regardless and should be the point of the discourse. To a better
understanding for us all.
