About this video
We’re 2 years into the AI revolution… but here’s the truth no one’s telling you: Artificial Intelligence isn’t intelligent - at least, not the way you think it is. In this video, I’ll break down how AI actually works, in simple, relatable terms. It starts with the story of how a group of Google researchers in 2017 accidentally created the system behind modern AI while trying to solve language translation issues.
I'll explain:
- What a transformer really is (hint: think Autobots, but math)
- How words become math using vectors and tokens
- Why GPT seems “smart” but actually has no idea what it’s saying
- How AI predicts (not thinks) at massive scale
This is the video I wish I had when I first tried to understand AI...you'll finally understand the magic behind the machines.
...and, of course...I used AI to generate the thumbnail. How could I NOT with a video like this?!
