Interesting. I would love to see two people who disagree about this topic have this conversation without using the words "semantic", "syntactic", "symbolic", "know", "meaning", "understand" or "think(ing)". When you boil it down to predicting what the thing can and cannot, or might and might not be able to do. If it can tell you that fire his hot, and hot things burn, burning hurts, and that a person might want to avoid fire because it's hot and they might get burned ... I don't think I care if "anybody is home" or what have you. I also think it's important to consider my favorite question, "What is the easiest accomplishment you confident AI will not be able to achieve in the next two years?" At least then the goalposts are in place.
