That last bit about the horse is pretty loaded. Knowing what a giraffe is means knowing that it is a mammal, has a blood system, eats leaves, reacts certain ways to certain stimuli, etc... That is a lot more than just knowing what it looks like. Image recognition is not the same a relationships or knowledge.

Now ask DALL-E "giraffe feeding young", "giraffe organs", "giraffe eating", etc, I think you'd find most knowledge is there.

By your criteria, no human before the 18th century (when Carl Linnaeus invented the class “mammalia”) knew what a giraffe was.

And in the 25th century, if we manage keep technology alive, the dall-es of the day will be trained in more computer depictions of long extinct animals that accidentally made it into the training set than pictures of real animals. It will be Dürer's rhinoceros all over again.

> mammal, has a blood system, eats leaves, reacts certain

DALL-E likely can map all those concepts to a giraffe also.
