Although Substack provides a transcription, here’s the original with my formatting. Hello and welcome to another episode of Practicum AI. I’m Dan Maxwell. In this short presentation, I’m going to talk briefly about word prediction. Consider this famous sequence of words, spoken by the American President Abraham Lincoln at the start of his Gettysburg Address. Given this sequence, what word comes next? Or given this one, what’s the missing word? Stated simply, this is all that AI language models do. They predict the next word, given a specific context. This simple task lies at the heart of all generative AI text systems, including the most advanced large language models – ChatGPT and Llama being but two examples. When you prompt ChatGPT, it uses your sequence of words to generate a new sequence, one word at a time.
