A large language model can take a prompt and produce fluent text, including answers to questions. ChatGPT is a chatbot that uses one. Its responses can be strikingly coherent, but that does not mean the machine thinks or is self-aware in a human sense. section 1.1
A prompt and a response
Prompted to introduce itself through a poem, ChatGPT produced several rhyming lines about assisting and conversing. This is text generated in response to an instruction, not a poem supplied as part of the prompt. section 1.1
The ability to perform this kind of task is learned from examples rather than written as a set of handcrafted rules. Language-model output is determined probabilistically, so the same prompt may not always produce the same text. Building a language model also involves the broader deep-learning workflow: representing data, defining a neural network, and training it. section 1.1 section 1.0
