It's more important than ever to understand what ChatGPT and other AI tools like it are actually doing when they talk to us and write for us.

I worked with some Large Language Models and GPTs and dug into what they're doing, and I wrote this article. I try to explain in the simplest terms possible what modern AIs actually are and how exactly they construct their content so we can move past the fear and confusion about what AI is capable of and start using it for what it's actually good for.

Please arm yourself with knowledge and understanding, and share this with someone who worries about AI taking over their job (or even the whole world)!

People are absolutely "needed". The thing is you can make people 1000% more efficient, which means you need fewer of them. And the quality is often "good enough". Especially when the goal is nothing but spamming your way to the top of SEO lists.

Also this whole idea that AI can't create anything original completely missed the fact that humans can't either. By the time you're old enough to write, you've already been influenced by thousands of other people. That is unless you're born to nomads who live out in the wilderness alone, at which point your original content is probably very boring, shallow and linear.
