And I'd love to see data compression terminology get an overhaul. Do we need big LLMs or just succinct data structures? Or maybe "compact" would be good enough? (Yeah LLMs are cool but why not just, you know, losslessly compress the actual data in a way that lets us query its content?)

Well the obvious answer is that LLMs are more then just pure search. They can synthesize novel information from their learned knowledge.
