In their words, it's not real intelligence --- it's a facsimile thereof that can be convincing to some.

This can be useful in some limited cases --- but also risky and dangerous if relied on for decision making.

Edit: I believe I have my math concepts all wrong. Vectors are currently represented with xyz coordinates, so that can be our complex number equivalent. This paper saves memory size by ‘simply’ transforming this “complex number” into its polar form (radius/size and angle). Since you use less bytes on angle + radius you then always refer to that polar form instead of the regular vector/complex number part. If I have my concepts correct this idea is simple and genius.

Edit 2: I may be missing the forest for the trees here. I’ll try to learn more from the actual sources if I can.
