What you're describing exists. It's called "embeddings" and it's one of the first steps ChatGPT does to do its magic and it's indeed very useful.

What renders this useless is reducing the dimensionality from thousands to just 3.

Thank you.. sincerely, thank you.

You just unlocked something in my brain about how this works in a certain way and I.. am incredibly excited to explore this more.

If I’m intuitively understanding that, I really really really feel like I can… get this. Do something with this.

Thank you. Now I need to go understand embedding a more. And use them.

If you have any resources or ideas or keywords to look for (I think i expect a long YouTube trek for myself…) I’m happy to read and share my thoughts.
