I think we understand a computer can read this text far faster than any of us. That is not the same as conscious thought though- it’s simply following an algorithm of yes/no decisions.
I’m not arguing with anything here, just pointing out the difference in what CPUs do and what human brains do.

Stop being an ass.
comprehension - the action or capability of understanding something.
LLMs don’t understand anything they read.
