My 2 cents: I think the vector representation stuff is an effective tool and possibly similar to foundational tools that humans are using. But my gut feel is that it's just one tool of many that combine to give humans a model+view of the world with some level of visibility into the "correctness" of ideas about that world. Meaning we have a sense of whether new info "adds up" or not, and we may reject the info or adjust our model. I think LLM's in their current state can be useful for tasks that do not have a high cost resulting from incorrect output, or tasks that can have their output validated by humans or some other system cost-effectively.
