Where do the AI's answers come from?
You will understand that AI learned from lots of writing to answer you.
The AI learned by reading a huge amount of writing. Books, articles, and websites. A truly large pile of words.
It does not copy and paste those words back. It learned patterns in how words fit together.
When you ask a question, it builds a fresh answer, word by word. It guesses what comes next, again and again.
This is why it sounds so natural. It is also why it can be wrong sometimes, so checking still helps.
Where did you learn the answer to [your topic]? Please explain simply.
Paste the message into ChatGPT, then fill in any blanks before you send it. ChatGPT opens in a new tab. Opening it does not send the message.
Because it learned from many sources, check important facts in one more place.
