The foundational idea of AI is that people think with words. But it is false. People think with things and use words only to point to things. Thinking with words is not possible. It will always be a case of shizophasia.

The "things" you mention may correspond to internal concept representations encoded in the model's weights. See e.g. https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.13289
