1. What is the main idea of "Embeddings — The Secret Trick Behind AI Search"?

   1. When you search a chat history or use a 'similar to this' feature, embeddings are doing the work.
   2. Use AI as the final authority for the whole decision
   3. Avoid checking the answer once it sounds polished
   4. Focus only on speed instead of judgment

2. Which concept is most central to "Embeddings — The Secret Trick Behind AI Search"?

   1. vector search
   2. embeddings
   3. semantic similarity
   4. unrelated shortcut

3. Which use of AI fits this topic best?

   1. Let the AI decide what matters without your review
   2. Use the answer before checking whether it fits the situation
   3. Used in: chat memory, recommendation systems, semantic search, RAG
   4. Use the first answer without checking it

4. What should a careful learner remember about "Real talk"?

   1. Embeddings turn ideas into numbers. Then math finds 'close' ideas without matching exact words.
   2. Skip the context so the tool can guess faster
   3. Treat the output as private even after sharing it online
   4. Use the answer without checking the source

   4. Use private or sensitive details before checking permission

6. How should AI output about embeddings be treated?

   1. As proof that no other source is needed
   2. As a replacement for context, consent, or expert review
   3. As a draft or helper output that still needs human judgment and verification
   4. As something that becomes correct when it sounds confident

7. Name one way to verify an AI answer about embeddings.

8. Which action would help you apply "Embeddings — The Secret Trick Behind AI Search" responsibly?

   1. Use the tool to avoid thinking through the tradeoff
   2. Keep going even if the output conflicts with a trusted source
   3. Use the first answer without checking it
