I guess it comes down to a philosophical question as to what "know" actually means.

But from my perspective is that it certainly knows some things. It knows how to determine what I'm asking, and it clearly knows how to formulate a response by stitching together information. Is it perfect? No. But neither are humans, we mistakenly believe we know things all the time, and miscommunications are quite common.

But this is why I asked the follow up question...what's the effective difference? Don't get me wrong, they clearly have a lot of flaws right now. But my 8 year old had a lot of flaws too, and I assume both will get better with age.

no, it doesn't, and it's not a philosophical question (and neither is this a question of philosophy).

the software simply has no cognitive capabilities.

I'm not sure I agree, but then it goes to my second question:

What's the effective difference?

(…) perception, attention, thought, imagination, intelligence, comprehension, the formation of knowledge, memory and working memory, judgment and evaluation, reasoning and computation, problem-solving and decision-making (…)
