LLMs are super cool. You provide text A, and text B, add a little cosine similarity or something, and you’ve got a distance between the two texts.

Right, they also generate text. I guess embeddings aren’t really new.

Well the embeddings are nice anyway. Makes it easy to so semantic text searching (or even images or other kinds of inputs). Not sure what that has to do with the general public, but it’s great if you’re writing a search tool.
