What is your definition of "understand them well"?

Not 'why do they work?' but rather 'what are they able to do, and what are they not?'

To understand why they work only requires an afternoon with an AI textbook.

What's hard is to predict the output of a machine that synthesises data from millions of books and webpages, and does so in a way alien to our own thought processes.
