They might have their own semantics, but its not our semantics! The written word already can only approximate our human experience, and now this is an approximation of an approximation. Perhaps if we were born as writing animals instead of talking ones...
This is true, but I think this feels evolutionary. We need to train models using all of the inputs that we have... touch, sight, sound, smell. But I think if we did do that, they'd be eerily close to us.
