THINKING LIKE AN AI

LLMs function as sophisticated autocomplete systems, predicting the next token based on training data and current input. Tiny changes in input affect predictions, leading to different outputs even for the same question. Understanding token prediction, training data context, and memory limitations can help refine AI use.
