Can you elaborate on the distinction you see between prediction and understanding?

I see them both being very very similar, possibly even the same thing. Are you saying a prediction only matters if it was done in a certain way, following a specific thought process?

You might see them both "being very, very similar", but that does not mean that it is.

I mentioned it countless times already, but it gets tiresome to repeat myself. Just ask your "AI", capable of "thought", a question (e.g., derive something given a set of axioms and definitions) from a non-widespread field (e.g., perspective geometry, Clifford algebra).

Then you might also arrive at the conclusion that it is a hyped up "Google search results mixer and matcher".
