Samwise Gamgee: The Unsung Hero of AI – Why Embeddings Matter More Than ChatGPT
I recently watched a video where the speaker, Matt Dupree, draws parallels between characters from The Lord of the Rings and the current landscape of AI, specifically focusing on ChatGPT and embeddings. This comparison provides a useful lens to evaluate where real power lies in AI applications. At the outset, Dupree suggests that while ChatGPT is often viewed as the “hero,” it’s actually the embeddings that play a more critical role—similar to Samwise Gamgee in Tolkien’s narrative.
