Grounding AI with Wittgenstein: From Language-Games to Epistemic Honesty

Yes, completely agree. LLMs instantiate Searle's Chinese Room argument; symbols alone have no meaning. And yes, I buy the Kripkenstein argument. The meaning is the use, and intersubjectivity is key.

Understanding requires application, and AI slop is letting the lazy off that hook.
