I agree and go further; no AI understands anything. Just like a calculator doesn't understand "2+2=4", it's just pushing numbers around.
But at least the calculator is designed to combine numbers in the right order. LLMs, on the other hand, could come up with a different answer every time and different models would come up with wildly different answers based on their training data.
The calculator comes with guarantees.
