It’s more important than ever to understand what ChatGPT and other AI tools like it are actually doing when they talk to us and write for us.

I worked with some Large Language Models and GPTs and dug into what they’re doing, and I wrote this article. I try to explain in the simplest terms possible what modern AIs actually are and how exactly they construct their content so we can move past the fear and confusion about what AI is capable of and start using it for what it’s actually good for.

Please arm yourself with knowledge and understanding, and share this with someone who worries about AI taking over their job (or even the whole world)!

    One quick typo I noticed: “For reference, one letter is a byte and a gigabyte is roughly a trillion bytes”. That’s billion of course.

    Otherwise, great article!
