This is probably true for some words and concepts but not others. I think we find that llms make inhuman mistakes only because they don't have the embodied senses and inductive biases that are at the root of human language formation.

If this hypothesis is correct, it suggests that we might be able to train a more complete machine intelligence by having them participate in a physics simulation as one part of the training. I.e have a multimodal ai play some kind of blockworld game. I bet if the ai is endowed with just sight and sound, it might be enough to capture many relevant relationships.
