MIT AI researcher Rickard Brüel Gabrielsson has a great, free intro course on understanding LLMs. His recent video is a great summary of how LLMs actually work for a non-technical audience.
Highlights
“Language is special. It’s man-made and we think in language'“
“We extract meaning from text….meaning is relational”
“Multiple digits are used to represent each word”
“We don’t think in words. We think in a sequence of words...Meaning is contextual.”
Summary
Language is special (man-made and used in our internal thinking) and meaning is contextual
Computers use a “vector” or list of numbers to represent meaning and context to a word
Context is inferred by looking at the words before and after a specific word in a sentence
ChatGPT and other good LLMs generate the next word based on the previous words
