How about: thinking is to make sense of the world (in general) and decide how to respond to it.

Ai definitely senses and definitely makes decisions. It does not feel. But it understands concepts. Just like people don’t understand everything—and you can test them to see what they understand—AI understanding can also be assessed with benchmarks. If we don’t base AI understanding on benchmarks, then we don’t really have a grounding.

Do we “really feel?” Or is that just our subjective interpretation of our goals? (At the risk of falling into a no true Scotsman argument)

To sense is not the same as to make sense.

Now you’ve just rephrased thinking. What is „making sense of the world“?
