A map made of ink and paper, no matter how detailed, can never acquaint you with the territory. That’s because the building blocks of territory are not made up of ink and paper. You can only represent the territory symbolically via paper and ink.

Artificial intelligence, made of 1s and 0s, no matter how much power and training you give it, will never, acquaint you with reality. That’s because the building blocks of reality are not made up of 1s and 0s. It can only traffic in the symbolic, never the actual.
