What can language models teach us about understanding?

The article discusses the possibility of developing a new mathematical theory of 'intuition,' similar to the development of 'reasoning' and 'computation' theories in the 19th and 20th centuries. The author, a former mathematician, shifts focus to cognitive processes and AI, based on the assumption that language models may significantly outperform humans in mathematical tasks.
