How Does Generative AI Actually Work

At the core, its powered by a machine learning model called GPT-4 (Generative Pretrained Transformer 4). Here’s a simplified explanation of how it works:

1. Training: During training, the model is shown a large amount of text data (from books, websites, etc.) but is not given any specific information about the content or who wrote it. The model learns to predict the next word in a sentence. Through this process, it gains understanding of grammar, facts about the world, and to some degree, reasoning abilities. However, it’s important to note that while it learns patterns from data, it doesn’t “understand” text in the way humans do.
   
   
2. Generation: When you ask a question or write a prompt, it will generate a response based on patterns that learned during training. It look at the words you’ve used and try to predict the next word in the sentence, over and over, until a full response is formed.
   
   
3. No memory of past interactions: This type of system will not have the ability to recall or learn from past interactions. Each conversation doesn’t have a history beyond the current conversation. Remember, the current conversation can be multiple interactions with the system, requesting various results.
   
   
4. Limitations: While it can provide information and mimic human-like text based on patterns learned during training, the responses are not influenced by personal experiences or emotions because it does not have those. It can make mistakes, especially when asked about events or information after the last training cut-off date.
   
   

It’s important to remember that even though the system will strive to provide accurate and helpful information, you should consult with a human expert or trusted source when making important decisions.  These systems are very powerful and use advanced filtering and results from training to get better and better results.

These technologies represent the next phase of software and systems and will present distinct advantages for businesses who can leverage these solutions within a fully integrated system, like CloudFran.  A fully integrated system will have all your personalized data through usage, allowing for a seamless extension of your information for powerful augmentation to the AI CloudFran solution. Best of all, there is no additional workflow required to achieve these fantastic results!  The 22^nd Century starts on cloudfran.com.
