  • Researchers studied whether AI models understand the real world.
  • Most chatbots learn from very large internet text collections.
  • That text contains facts, errors and strange nonsense.
  • Scientists gave simple sentences to each model for testing.
  • Sentences showed common, unlikely, impossible and nonsensical events.
  • The AI produced internal states that researchers studied.
  • Large models had clear patterns that matched human judgments.
  • The study may help build smarter, more trustworthy AI.
  • Results were shown across several open-source AI models.
