Imagine you happen across a short movie script that describes a scene between a person and their AI assistant. The script has what the person asks the AI, but the AI's response has been torn off. Suppose you also have this powerful machine that can take in any text and provide a sensible prediction of what word comes next. You could then finish the script by feeding in what you have to the machine, seeing what it would predict to start the AI's answer, and then repeating this over and over with a growing script completing the dialogue. The machine, after being fed Can you explain...a semiconductor device..., predicts the word used. The machine, after being fed Can you explain...semiconductor device used..., predicts the word to. When you interact with a chatbot, this is exactly what's happening. A large language model(LLM) is a sophisticated mathematical function that predicts what word comes next for any piece of text. Instead of predicting one word with certainty, though, what it doe
