AI-What is it? How does it work?
| What is it? |
It is a type of artificial intelligence that can understand and generate natural language text. |
| How does it work? |
It is trained on large amounts of text data (Large Language Model -- LLM). It then uses this data to learn the patterns and structure of language. Once it has learned enough about language, it can generate its own text based on a given prompt or topic. |
| What's behind it? |
It uses an algorithm called a transformer to learn how to generate text that simulates human conversation. This algorithm is based on a neural network, which is a type of computer program that is designed to mimic the way the human brain works. |
| What is it called? |
GPT stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformers. This refers to the type of algorithm behind many different services, including ChatGPT, Claude, Llama, Bard, Bing AI, and others. |
