What do you mean by "is"? I've spent a fair amount of time with giraffes in real life. Does that mean I know what one is?

I would really hope so. All of this conversation is devolving into a philosophical argument about 2 letter words. To know what something is relates to understanding some of its properties, and how it might interact with the world around it. Whether DALL-E knows what something is, is debatable. Whether you know what something is should be pretty clear.
