Latent Space: AI’s Hidden Map

Latent Space sounds like sci-fi but it's actually the secret map AI uses to understand everything.

Think of it like a gigantic cosmic library where instead of random piles, everything similar

lives close together. A Golden Retriever photo sits right next to a Labrador while a Toaster

lives in a completely different state on this map. That map is Latent Space.

Here's where it gets wild. Every feature in this space works like a slider on

a radio. There's a slider for how much fur and another for how pointy the ears

are. Take a dog picture and slowly turn up the pointy ear slider plus the

big cat slider. The AI walks across its map until that dog morphs into a Lynx.
