“I would say that there’s semantics of the world, their understanding of the meaning of the world is fairly superficial. And so they will often match the things that we hope that they will, but there’s no guarantee, and we see that in many different ways.”
Our reading:
In Marcus's view, LLMs' understanding of the meaning of the world is fairly superficial, and so they will often match what we hope they will, but there is no guarantee, as seen in many different ways.

Why it can’t be checked
