Autocomplete on Steroids
At its heart, generative AI is autocomplete on steroids: predict the next word, accept it, feed it back, and repeat until you have paragraphs, pictures, or video. The raw material is the internet itself, scraped by the billions of pages, cleaned of duplicates and junk, then tokenized into the numbers the math needs.
After this lesson
- You can explain how generative AI predicts the next word to create content.
- You understand that tokens are the basic units the AI uses to process text.
- You see how punctuation affects the way an AI splits your words.
