In this enlightening blog post, I dive into the tantalizing world of ChatGPT and Large Language Models. Clarifying its operation, I unlock this enigma by comparing its mechanisms to a simple language model. However, Challenges arise due to the explosion of possible token combinations, leading to an inherent 'lossy' compression of our world's vast information. Surprisingly, even with such compression, these models can mimic human language in a compelling manner. I also investigate possible strategies to optimize this amazing technology - including zero-shot learning, one-shot learning, few-shot learning, and fine-tuning. Entering the era of prompt engineering and larger models, we're...
Here's a wild ride with ChatGPT and other large language models! They're ace at cooking up plausible-sounding text, but they're not always the best when it comes to spitting out the truth - they've got a funky relationship with facts. One research paper showed they can come out with believable but totally fake answers to seemingly straightforward facts. But when I messed around with various models, there were a few discrepancies. Some got it right or plausibly wrong, but we humans are pretty gullible and tend to believe plausible-sounding info. So when it comes to using ChatGPT, make sure you...
