Hi what the fuck does this mean

I think the x-axis labels are wrong. Cosine similarity is used to compare vectors in maths. 1 would mean the vectors are going in the same direction and 0 would mean they are going 90° to each other and -1 is opposite.

While it seems you’re on to something with the x-axis, I do not believe that was the question. My interpretation, that I share, is wtf am I looking at? Haha
