“Take all 100,000 plus games on Steam, scrape their descriptions in metadata, semantically plot them in vector space using embeddings, mathematically choose a location in vector space far away from neighbors, convert that back into a description in metadata, boom. Brand new ideas ranked by how unlike any other ideas they are.”
