Explaining Embeddings To My Uber Driver

SMRTR summary

Embeddings are the technology that allows AI to understand human language by turning words into mathematical coordinates, similar to GPS locations on a map. Words with similar meanings end up close together in this mathematical space, letting computers calculate relationships without truly "understanding" language. This powers modern search engines, recommendations, and large language models, enabling searches for "sneakers" to also return results for "running shoes."
