How do the ‘large language models’ that lie underneath AI chatbots actually work? No one knows, according to MIT Technology Review:

The biggest models are now so complex that researchers are studying them as if they were strange natural phenomena, carrying out experiments and trying to explain the results. Many of those observations fly in the face of classical statistics, which had provided our best set of explanations for how predictive models behave…

When will we understand these weird new mathematical systems that support ‘good enough’ AI?
