intermediateEmbeddings & Vector Databases

Why can't you just use a regular SQL `WHERE` clause to find 'semantically similar' text?

SQL comparisons are exact or pattern-based (equality, LIKE) — they have no concept of meaning, so a query for 'cheap laptop' would never match a document saying 'affordable notebook' via SQL. A vector database instead compares embedding vectors using similarity math, which captures meaning rather than literal text overlap.
