Long called “black boxes,” AI models are increasingly yielding their secret inner workings—even, this playful guide shows, in terms that anyone can understand.

Original Reddit post

An AI explainer that actually explains it. Instead of just saying “there are a lot of weights in layers” it describes AI as a series of gigantic spreadsheets, and shows how your query actually travels through the model to generate a response. I actually helped edit this article, and I’m embarrassed how many things I didn’t know until then. I’d read and watched several explainers. But I still thought AI looked more like code. I hadn’t really processed that “matrices” are tables, and “weights” are little numbers inside those tables. And I didn’t realize that feeding documents into AI is the training. submitted by /u/NickDouglas
