Abstract: Creating intelligent agents that genuinely comprehend human language has long
been the aspiration of natural language processing scientists. However, most of
the current evaluation metrics for language models fail to accurately distinguish
whether a language model truly grasps the essence of communication or merely
replicates human speech patterns. Furthermore, contemporary robots struggle to
engage in non-verbal communication with humans. To address these two issues, this
essay will first differentiate between the concepts of machines truly understanding
communication and merely imitating it. Subsequently, we will analyze the origins
of human language production and emergence within the context of evolutionary
biology. Building upon this analysis, this essay will introduce two criteria for
assessing whether intelligent agents have mastered the essential traits of human
communication.
