Understanding Large Language Models (LLMs)

Large language models (LLMs) are advanced AI systems designed to understand and generate human language. They are trained on extensive text data to predict plausible responses based on the context of the input. A notable example discussed is ChatGPT, which utilizes the Generative Pre-Trained Transformer framework to produce coherent and contextually relevant language outputs. The excitement surrounding LLMs in the medical field reflects their potential for various applications, although it highlights the need for medicine to keep pace with technological advancements.
