Understanding Large Language Models

Large language models (LLMs) are integral to the realm of artificial intelligence, functioning as sophisticated tools that analyze and construct text based on human input. They are designed to process vast amounts of information, search for relevant data, and generate responses that simulate human-like conversation. Popular examples include commercial offerings like ChatGPT, which can quickly provide answers by scouring the internet for information. However, users must be aware that LLMs operate within a 'black box' framework, making it challenging to comprehend how they derive specific answers, leading to concerns about transparency and trust in the outcomes.
