Latent Space as a New Medium

2 months ago

The latent space within AI models serves as a new creative medium, compressing human knowledge into a high-dimensional map.
LLMs achieve extreme compression by abstracting common attributes of all data, storing patterns without storing the original data.
Latent space integrates everything—real and possible—into a single continuous map, enabling creative exploration across domains.
Answers from LLMs are generated through journeys in latent space, where correctness and truth are directional vectors.
Latent space allows for easy manipulation of ideas and styles, as seen in image generators transferring artistic styles.
Potential applications include prototyping with attributes, discovering white spaces between known concepts, and cross-domain analogies.
It enables new forms of measurement, anomaly detection, simulated realities, and personal AI models for co-creation.
Latent spaces could evolve into fields studying their architectures, with future uses in world-building and innovation beyond current imagination.
