This is a wild argument.

If I use the word "semantic", do you have a concept of what it means?

If so, can you please share which of your senses have shaped the world experience that inform this concept? What have you smelled, tasted, caressed, that informed this concept outside of words?

If I make up the word "polysemantic", do you need to recall a personal experience of polyamory to understand it, or could you possibly use your concept of "poly" and your concept of "semantic" to figure out this new concept?

Yes, but are you claiming that LLMs perform more specific acts of cognition beyond organizing information?
