From what I gathered, it's not just about understanding language but also predicting context which makes it smart.
Isn’t it crazy that it doesn’t actually 'understand' like humans? It just processes patterns.
I always thought it was just some fancy chatbot AI, but turns out it's way more complex under the hood.
So basically, it's a type of generative AI that creates text based on prompts, right?
People should know ChatGPT uses a model called GPT which stands for generative pre-trained transformer. That sums it up pretty well.
It's basically a language model, specifically a transformer-based neural network trained on tons of text. Kinda wild how it predicts the next word so well!
