Advances in knowledge and technology will always come from people who understand the nitty gritty details very well and recognize patterns between abstract ideas. I don't think current generation AIs are very good at this. A nearest neighbor search returns similar concepts but misses the very highest level abstractions. A NN search on a piece of text won't return text that talks about completely different ideas but uses similar sentence structure and argument patterns
