Demystifying LLMs

LLMs are large language models that generate text based on statistical probabilities inferred from their training data, allowing them to continuously predict the next word in a sequence similar to human speech. While language models have improved at sounding human-like, they do not inherently contain knowledge and should not be assumed to always provide accurate information, as their output is simply the result of statistical language patterns rather than verified facts. The power of LLMs for content generation can be harnessed through careful prompt engineering, priming the AI with context, and providing additional details to steer the output.

What are LLMs

- LLM stands for large language models.


- These are statistical models that infer the next word based on likelihoods
or probabilities
- It takes what has already been split out and continuously infers the next
in the sequence
- Kind of like fast guessing machines
Artificial Intelligence Progress over the years
Language Models =/= Knowledge Models

- Language models exist only to create human like speech. They do


not guarantee accuracy of statements
- There are other models trained to provide accurate results
- Be wary of what you read from an LLM. The results they spit out
are just byproducts of statistics
How to Harness the power of LLMs

- Understanding Prompt Engineering


- Priming the AI
- Providing details as needed
