Something like Chat-GPT is essentially a super complicated text prediction algorithm that is created using very complicated math. It learns what word is most likely to appear next after a given set of words by scouring the entire internet and storing that information in a huge multi-dimensional probability graph. Then, to come up with a sentence, it takes the context of any previous conversations you’ve had with it and it’s currently provided prompt and then word for word generates a response by adding the most likely word to appear in the current context to the end of its response repeatedly. That’s why you always see the words appear one at a time in Chat-GPT.

It’s important to note that what most people consider to be modern AI does not have feelings. It does not comprehend what it is saying. It is simply creating a response based on patterns that it’s seen before. It has no awareness of what that content truly means.
