I think "understanding" is a super vague word.
Relating back to this headline, using “understanding” creates lots of messages with differing views because everyone has their own take on the word. If instead you said something like, “DALLE fakes understanding of concepts to create new images,” I bet you’d get even closer to the “political message board” style of comments because you are now taking an objective position (yes/no,true/false,good/bad) on a subjective word (understanding).
