It's a decent proxy for how our brains process language, but processing language is just one of many processes involved in having a conversation. The goal isn't intelligence. The best possible model would be able to identify the relationships between all words in all contexts. Which is cool, but isn't the whole picture.

The philosophical question is whether there's more to semantics than a certain set of standard paths through a large set of textual relationships. The answer is "Almost certainly", but not necessarily in all contexts - which means that in fact mechanical representations are already good enough for some contexts, although still with a relatively poor hit rate.
