Nobody expected this—not even its creators: ChatGPT has burst onto the scene as an AI capable of writing at a convincingly human level. But how does it really work? What’s going on inside its “AI mind”? In this short book, prominent scientist and computation pioneer Stephen Wolfram provides a readable and engaging explanation that draws on his decades-long unique experience at the frontiers of science and technology. Find out how the success of ChatGPT brings together the latest neural net technology with foundational questions about language and human thought posed by Aristotle more than two thousand years ago.
From the Publisher
“This is an important book… Wolfram has provided a substantial contribution to the body of thought on AI.”
— Verified Purchaser
“This is the best explanation of what ChatGPT is doing that I’ve seen.”
— Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI (creators of ChatGPT)
“Very clear and concise explanation of AI via ChatGPT and neural nets. Well written and not hard to grasp for a quick read.”
— Verified Purchaser
From the Preface
“This short book is an attempt to explain from first principles how and why ChatGPT works. In some ways it’s a story about technology. But it’s also a story about science. As well as about philosophy. And to tell the story, we’ll have to bring together a remarkable range of ideas and discoveries made across many centuries.
For me it’s exciting to see so many things I’ve so long been interested in come together in a burst of sudden progress. From the complex behavior of simple programs to the core character of language and meaning, and the practicalities of large computer systems—all of these are part of the ChatGPT story.”
