I completely agree with your conclusions starting from these ifs!
However, I would add that another interesting area of study that is essentially not being explored at all is exactly to try to understand more about human cognition at the computational level (whereas neuroscience is working at the biological level). Basically, it seems we have abandoned any work in AI that would try to model human learning or human understanding of language in a human-understandable way, and instead we are aiming for reproducing human behaviors for engineering purposes.
