Who uses AI and what do you understand about how it works?

AI does seem to “know everything”. … but it can only handle events it knows about

From part of me trying to understand AI better.

5. Understanding is an illusion created by probability

When you ask a question, the model isn’t “thinking.”

It’s doing:

next token=arg⁡max⁡P(token∣previous tokens)

And somehow that looks like understanding.

That’s the part that feels impossible — but it’s just math.
