I believe chatbots partly understand what they chat about. Let me explain.

I used to think that today's so-called "artificial intelligences" are actually pretty dumb. But I've recently changed my mind.

And since I was already freely speculating, I have added some thoughts about how the situation with AIs is going to develop.
