Once again, all models are wrong, some are useful.

I suppose this one "fails" because of "granularity?"

I'm personally getting more comfortable with the "kabillion dimensional space" one. Even before the rise of this AI thing I'd gotten comfortable with (teaching in a very generalized way) the concept of matrix/vector math as doing this sort of thing.

Start with the math required to calculate "what the building on the screen looks like" when you're playing a video game.

Then I jump to...dating websites. You give it "dimensions" like height, weight, religion, sexual preference, music preference, whether you like long walks on the beach, whatever -- then you can calculate how "close" two people are to one another.

From there, tokens and a kabillion directions.
