Part 1 What's a Chatbot??

Large Language Models are not really as magical as I thought, but rather based on simple ideas of probabilities!!!

  • Explain what Large Language Models are
Large Language Models are types of Artificial Intelligence that is mind-blowing to me! I learned in the YouTube video “How Chatbot and Large Language Models Work,”  that the AI uses algorithms/everything available from all over the internet, or the largest amount of information possible to “help us tackle really hard challenges and improve every aspect of life,” according to Murati. A model is trained to generate new information using probabilities and neural networks to predict what you want to produce. The AI learns complicated patterns between words, word parts, sentences,  context in the sentences, and even code to predict the intended user outcome. The probabilities then need human tuning to ensure the random probabilities to choose words is appropriate. 
  • Describe the difference between generative and predictive AI. 
Generative AI is used to create something new- or an original idea. Generating new content or images is made possible with Generative AI.Predictive AI is used to analyze historical data to predict future outcomes or trends- not creating something new but rather predicting.Both types of AI use large amounts of data available from all over the internet.
