They don't have anything in mind except some points located in a vector space.
This is because the location of the points is all the meaning the machine ever perceives. It has no relation with external perception of shared experiences like we have.
A given point can mean 'red colour', but that's just empty words, as the computer doesn't perceive red colour, doesn't wear a red cap, doesn't feel attracted to red lips, doesn't remember the smell of red roses, it knows nothing that's not text.
