I started to draw cartoons to make complex concepts in AI more accessible to the rest of us. Hope this is useful & lmk if you have ideas or feedback!

    while I like the drawings, their combination with the purposefully vague and mysterious/mystical terminology like 'embeddings' and 'attention' make the entire document feel like one of those pamphlets that cults or 'science-based' religions produce

    Cool idea!

    But you should decrease the amount of the text. Because it's hard to watch and hard to read. Also, text fonts should be changed. Look at some cool design examples.

    Before you show info via infographics or animations or anything else you have to watch a lot of cool examples and then find one to follow.
