a small nit: while I understand this is an introductory article, I think it's a bit TOO introductory. You should at least give a preview of a "killer app" of embeddings to make me want to read the next installments, I read the entire article and I'm not sure I learned anything useful or insightful that I didn't know before. I feel you held back too much, but thanks for sharing that's appreciated.



Yes, as a standalone post I can totally see how this is not persuasive because it's too vague and doesn't spell out specific applications. My only excuse is that I never intended this to be a standalone post; it was intended to be a conceptual primer supplemented by follow-up posts and projects exploring different applications of embeddings in technical writing. Hopefully the renewed attention on this post will motivate me to follow through on the follow-up content ;)
