Fawzoozfawzooz.aiA machine learns from its mistakes, millions of times.
Draw this cycle by hand in four boxes, without a single equation.
What a machine learns is only as good as what it is fed.
Fawzoozfawzooz.aiA model predicts the next word.
Ask a model to finish the same sentence three times, and notice how the answers differ.
Fluency is no proof of being right.
Fawzoozfawzooz.aiTo a machine, words are numbers with a direction.
Give a model a long document, then ask it about the beginning and the end, and compare how accurate it is.
What falls out of the context window falls out of the model's memory.
Fawzoozfawzooz.aiToday a model sees, hears and speaks.
Photograph a chart from your work, ask for an explanation, then check every number.
Every new medium is a new door for error too.
Fawzoozfawzooz.aiKnow where the machine stops.
Ask a model for the source of a precise fact, and check: does the source really exist?
Confidence in the tone is not confidence in the fact.
Fawzoozfawzooz.aiA page that explains the machine
Write one page explaining how a model learns, and at least two ways it gets things wrong, with no equations.
When someone who is not a specialist reads it, then explains it back to you in their own words.
