I don't know if brains use language to think, but I do believe analogies play an important part in reasoning.

I'm just saying embeddings and analogies aren't the same; equating them is precisely the kind of flawed reasoning Ted Chiang mentions in the article.

Or to answer more directly:

> analogy, in other words, embeddings?

No, analogies aren't embeddings "in other words".
