🎓 How AI Understands Words

Large language models.

You must’ve heard these words before. They represent a specific type of machine learning-based algorithms that understand and can generate language, a field often called natural language processing or NLP.

You’ve certainly heard of the most known and powerful language model: GPT-3.

GPT-3 understands language and generates language in return. But be careful here; it doesn’t really understand it. In fact, it’s far from understanding. GPT-3 and other language-based models merely use what we call dictionaries of words to represent them as numbers, remember their positions in the sentence, and that’s it.
