LLMs para Leigos: O que realmente acontece quando você usa ChatGPT, Gemini e outras IAs
The article explains how Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and Gemini function in a simplified manner. It emphasizes that LLMs operate on statistical probabilities rather than human-like understanding or consciousness. Additionally, it highlights the importance of context in generating responses and the differences between paid and free models.
- ▪LLMs are trained on vast amounts of text to learn language patterns rather than memorizing information.
- ▪They generate responses based on the probability of word sequences rather than having human-like thoughts or intentions.
- ▪The quality of prompts significantly affects the output, as LLMs rely heavily on the context provided by the user.
