Understanding Text-Generative AI Models like GPT

This chapter delves into the capabilities of text-generative AI models like GPT, explaining that they do not think or reason but rely on statistical language models to predict the next word in a sequence. It discusses the process of building these models using vast amounts of text from various sources without bias screenings, and how human intervention is crucial in refining the generated content. The chapter also explores the evolution of GPT models from GPT-2 to GPT-4, highlighting the complexity and challenges in optimizing these AI systems.
