You have 10,000 images. Maybe 100,000. How do you know what's really in your dataset? Which samples are redundant? Which are rare and valuable? Are there hidden patterns or quality issues lurking in your training data? Staring at individual images won't scale. Aggregate metrics hide the details. But neural network embeddings give you X-ray vision into your visual data. They enable you see structure, search semantically, and systematically clean your dataset.

The late English writer Douglas Adams is best known as the author of the 1979 book The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. But there is much more to Adams than what is written in his Wikipedia entry.
