Yet [another interesting comment](https://community.airtable.com/t5/development-apis/suddenly-rows-can-now-have-meaning/m-p/150775/highlight/true#M12294) from afar, this time from afar.

My thoughts (seem to be inline with the creators thoughts):

1. This is a good learning moment.
2. It costs about a half-a-buck per search; an embedding architecture would be about 1/60th of a penny.
3. It is slow; search should be [Doherty threshold](https://lawsofux.com/doherty-threshold/) or less.
4. It replicates a lot of information in adjacent fields.
5. It’s an impressive array of steps; a Make posterchild for complex solutions.
6. Proof that if it can be done, it should not necessarily be done.
7. [Embeddings](https://air.tableforums.com/t/suddenly-rows-can-now-have-meaning/386); 'nuf said.
