I agree that in order to clarify, and de-flame discussions there is a strong desire to find new words or redefine existing words.

When these systems have zero emotional intelligence, but some kind of logical intelligence, we must find two versions of these words:

1. groking: human like deep emotional understanding

2. comprehending(?): system like associative understanding.

1. cognition: human like deep emotional knowing

2. knowing: possession of knowledge, which systems are capable of

1. thinking: human like pondering

2: reasoning: following logical steps, which systems start to be capable of

these or similar words will bifurcate naturally I wonder when they will be used with some agreement.

Just a suggestion - but it's probably worth looking more deeply into existing epistemology and cognitive science before coining / popularising terms in this way. There's a whole lexicon and deep, decades rich bed of research around the relationship between affect, knowledge, insight, type 1 and type 2 reasoning etc. There's a great attraction in attempting to popularise sticky terminology in this way (e.g.: lesswrong coining terms like 'steelman') - but doing that often misses the more sophisticated and nuanced parallel work in other fields.
