Understanding the Black Box: Emergent Capabilities of AI Models
AI models like Chatubiti and GPT series demonstrate emergent capabilities, where later models exhibit behaviors that earlier ones don't due to increased data and training duration. Unlike traditional code or machines, the inner workings of these models function like a black box, making it challenging to decipher their logic or predict their behavior. Language models such as GPT focus on predicting the next word in a sequence, akin to auto suggest features, but with complexities that emerge as models scale up.
