This podcast explains the workings of generative AI, focusing on its relationship with supervised learning. The speaker begins by situating generative AI within the broader AI landscape, highlighting supervised learning as a foundational technology. The core explanation details how Large Language Models (LLMs) predict the next word in a sequence based on massive datasets, ultimately generating text. An example is given of how the phrase "I love eating" can be completed in various ways by an LLM. The podcast concludes by suggesting that LLMs are becoming useful tools for everyday tasks, such as writing and information gathering.
