Without the ability to name stuff, all that can really be said is "do
something", and that isn't particularly useful as descriptions of a

go.
Exactly. The alternative is a computer with Artificial Intelligence
comparable to humans. I mean, it must be able to do what a human does
today. At this point some would think it's possible sooner or later, some
think it won't be ever possible, in any case is sci-fi for the foreseeable
future and not an interesting topic to discuss (BTW, it has been discussed
here in the past).
While I don't agree with the whole example, I think Kevin is right with
the point that it's a matter of level of abstraction.
