Study Notes

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Spotlight

AI's recent surge in popularity, largely driven by ChatGPT, a conversational AI chatbot.
ChatGPT's ability to generate human-like responses to various prompts distinguishes it from previous AI models.
Generative AI, a type of AI, can create diverse forms of content (text, images, and sound.)

Generative AI: Capabilities

Generative AI can be used for tasks like predicting optimal selling prices for homes using market data.
Generative AI models can create entirely new content that was not part of the training data, unlike other AI models.
Generative AI's potential for societal change is considerable.

Possibilities of Language Models

Generative AI models, particularly large language models (LLMs), have been evolving for decades.
Early examples include an Nvidia AI model creating photorealistic human face images.
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a broad category of AI techniques that are key to understanding and using language.
LLMs leverage enormous datasets of human-written text to understand natural language.

Specific LLM Capabilities

Summarization: LLMs can condense large amounts of text into concise summaries. Examples include creating meeting notes or scientific paper abstracts.
Translation: LLMs use language rules to translate between different languages. They understand differing language structures.
Error Correction: LLMs can identify and sometimes correct grammatical or spelling errors. They can also improve speech-to-text accuracy.
Question Answering: LLMs can interpret questions and generate relevant text-based responses. They can provide answers to complex inquiries.
Guided Image Generation: LLMs can assist in image generation, taking a textual description and attempting to create a corresponding image.
Text-to-Speech: AI models are trained to convert text into audio representations of human speech.

Impressive Predictions

AI-generated text is a form of prediction, predicting the most likely sequence of words.
AI models don't possess opinions, intentions, or desires.
Responses are predictions based on recognizing expected patterns in communication.
