How Does AI Actually Work? 28 Learning Resources.

Find out how generative AI---from LLMs to diffusion models---does its magic.

I’ve been writing about generative AI for over a year.

Yet I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t really know what happens inside the black box called ChatGPT or Midjourney.

All I know is that we can get them to spit out nursery rhymes about quantum physics or paint an image of a steampunk Batman baking delicious cupcakes.

Case in point.

But, like, how?

I bet many of you are in the same boat.

So let’s try to get smarter together, shall we?

I’ve curated a list of resources that explain and showcase the inner workings of AI models.

Take a look.

📝 1. LLMs (e.g. GPT-4)

ChatGPT is widely credited with being the product that got everyone talking about generative AI.

Behind ChatGPT is a large language model from OpenAI called GPT-3.5 (GPT-4 for Plus users). In a nutshell, large language models are algorithms that can understand and write text.

Here are a few great ways t…
