AI: A Misleading Label
- "Artificial intelligence" (AI) is a broad term originating in the 1950s.
- Before ChatGPT, AI primarily referred to machine learning, using data patterns for predictions.
How LLMs Work
- Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT work by predicting the next word in a sequence, based on massive datasets of text and code.
- This "fancy autocomplete" uses complex math to determine the most statistically likely word or token.
Choosing the Right LLM
- Different LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) offer varying features, but they're constantly evolving and converging.
- Prioritize using the largest, most actively developed "frontier models" like GPT 4 for complex tasks.
