That is exactly how LLMs work. LOMs embed semantic concepts in metric spaces. That is what we’re talking about.

No, they embed word weights in metric spaces. Human thought is more like semantic concepts in a metric space (though I don't think that's entirely unequivocal, human thought is not very well-understood). Even if the space is similar what's in them is definitely not.
