As someone who understands formal proofs, it's completely misleading to conflate formalism with sketchy pedagogical theories (wtf).
Yes, terminology like "understands" is a choice outside of formalism that's intentionally misleading for the sake of marketing/funding.
Genuine question: What evidence would make it seem likely to you that an AI "understands"? These papers are coming at an unyielding rate, so these conversations (regardless of the specifics) will continue. Do you have a test or threshold in mind?
