I’ve been seeing AI everywhere lately and I feel like I’m late to the party. The problem is I don’t come from a hardcore tech background, so most explanations online either feel too simplified or extremely technical. What I’m really struggling with is understanding what’s actually happening in the background when people talk about AI. Like when someone says a model is trained, what does that really mean in practical terms? Is it just a lot of data being fed into a system until it starts recognizing patterns, or is it something more complicated than that? And when you use something like ChatGPT or any AI tool, what is actually happening between typing a prompt and getting a response back? I’m not trying to become an engineer right now, I just want to understand the basics well enough so it stops feeling like some black box magic. At the moment it feels like everyone else understands this except me, which is probably not true, but still. If you’ve gone from zero to having a decent understanding of AI, what helped things finally click for you? submitted by /u/BlushyBlaze
