I agree a AI Language model that cannot understand context, region or colloquialism is pretty low standard.

    It bears repeating thatLLMs are unable to "understand" anything at all. They are not knowledge knoledge-based. Instead they auto complete based on the word probabilities that are found in the text they were trained with

    It does. Just not regional shit it hasn't been trained on as much.

    It does not.

    It uses probability to predict words that belong near the other words in your prompt. It's a more powerful version of the suggested words at the top of your phone keyboard.

    You could write a sentence or two using that, but it will quickly descend into gibberish.

    It does not "understand" what you wrote in any way. It just has a heuristic that shows the word "Mom" comes after the word "Your" with a high frequency, so that's what it's going to output.
