Large language models

Large language models are pattern-matching systems trained on human text that predict the next word with unsettling consistency, creating an illusion of understanding without any internal model of meaning. They're useful tools for specific tasks, dangerous when mistaken for knowledge, and reveal more about human language than about intelligence.
