‘Generative AI, in the short time that it has been available, continues to impress. Ask it to write a sonnet about the planet Venus or explain the significance of sorghum to the global economy, and you get a coherent version of what you asked for. This kind of output, if created by a human, would leave you impressed by how much skill and knowledge the person has (regarding poetry, astronomy, economics, agriculture, and persuasive writing). But do we think this output means that AI has learned how to do these things well, or simply that it can perform? While this may be a philosophical distinction, it reflects a critical aspect of education and training. To unpack it, let’s start by defining our terms.’
