@zogwarg I've written up a quick explanation at https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Ovid/17b19faf2fb7e0019e375e97f0a4c8af/raw/196735daa5274ded8f2363a41d78a490e8325f67/vector.txt

And yes, this is still GenAI. "Gen" doesn't just mean "generating text". It also relates to "understanding" (cough) the meaning of your prompt and having a search space where it can match your meaning with the meaning of other things. That's where it starts to "generate" ideas. For vector databases, instead of generating words based on the meaning, it's generating links based on the meaning.
