The Best Explainer of ChatGPT

Just came across a great explainer of ChatGPT and the underlying technologies by Stephen Wolfram: What Is ChatGPT Doing … and Why Does It Work?

That ChatGPT can automatically generate something that reads even superficially like human-written text is remarkable, and unexpected. But how does it do it? And why does it work? My purpose here is to give a rough outline of what’s going on inside ChatGPT—and then to explore why it is that it can do so well in producing what we might consider to be meaningful text.

Highly recommended!
