So Hinton is taking exactly 1 component of the *potential* frameworks of human understanding, & claiming that 1) that is all of human understanding, 2) that generative "AI" understands in exactly the same way, & thus 3) that generative "AI" understands like humans.
Honestly that's just bad logic.
The fact that LLMs need to analyze all human literature and the entire public internet in order to make mostly comprehensible answers implies that it is absolutely not the same mechanism humans use to understand things.
