Indeed. Language has been historically difficult for AI, but I think it's even tougher here — language is less and less reliable the further we get from a shared experience, and this is a problem when describing our experiences of our own bodies, and much worse when describing our own minds.
For example, when I was coming off an SSRI, I was forewarned that I might get a sensation of "electric shocks"; the actual experience wasn't like that, though I could tell why they chose to describe it like that.
How different is the tightness in the chest during a heart attack from the tightness in the chest from exercising chest muscles?
I have no idea how doctors, GPs, and nurses manage this, though they seem to have relatively little trouble.
