But it doesn't understand (you're unnecessary antropomorphizing it), and I'm still not a paper clip


Would you say that something that can converse or that something that just gives you mathematical proofs has a better understanding of what the real pragmatic intent is behind a given task?


The question feels like it stuffed with random words, frankly. "Better understanding" than what? What is "real pragmatic intent"? Are there also unreal, and non-pragmatic in our context? Why?


"In linguistics and the philosophy of language, pragmatics is the study of how context contributes to meaning. This field of study evaluates how human language is utilized in social interactions, as well as the relationship between the interpreter and the interpreted.[1] Linguists who specialize in pragmatics are called pragmaticians. The field has been represented since 1986 by the International Pragmatics Association (IPrA)." [0]

But great that you have such strong opinions with so little education.
