Knowledge workers are "data scientists" - instruments that do not care for the actual meaning of the data - it is intellectuals that understand (and often perscuted by authoritarian regimes) - knowledge workers they give a free pass to man their bureaucracies and carry out their systems of oppression. This is why education and understanding is so important for avoiding the worst of humanity. Michel Thomas. As an example of how we can mix knowledge and understanding - the intentional stance - we say a vending machine "knows" you put in a dollar, but it doesn't understand - with something like chatgpt we attribute to it intentions in virtue of attribution bias. It is not that in principle a computer is not capable of understanding - it's that understanding is different to performing a simulation of understanding - understanding is closely linked to consciousness - the ability to reflect on ones own knowledge but also to be embodied and in real time update ones beliefs and epistemic stance to the environment - however chatgpt and large language models need a copy of all texts so their ability to self update is limited unless their model can be simplified but then it is not a "large" language model - so its my suspcion at this time that consciousness is highly embodied - we can say that someone understands or as a matter of speaking "knows" how to ride a bicycle - understanding is more the process of updating of ones own systems in real time in the real world - or say a conversation between two people who understand things - update their beleifs as they are talking.
