ChatGPT For Beginners - Chapter 5
Under the Hood: Pattern Prediction
Understanding how AI assistants really work
Let's go a little deeper into AI assistants and how they work. Behind your AI assistant is a pattern prediction model. Your assistant has been trained on content from the internet, which includes research, articles, blogs, social media, and a whole lot more.
Think of it like this: Imagine you've read millions of books, articles, and conversations. When someone asks you a question, you predict the most likely response based on all those patterns you've learned.
This is exactly what happened in the meeting minutes example you saw earlier. The AI didn't just copy a template - it synthesized patterns from countless examples to create something tailored to your specific input.
You saw this in action during the video about creating meeting minutes. AI assistants such as ChatGPT have learned a million different meeting minute styles, and which ones are most useful.
📝 What the AI "Learned" About Meeting Minutes:
- Clear action items with assigned owners
- Structured format with date, attendees, and agenda
- Bullet points for easy scanning
- Decision tracking and next steps
- Professional but concise language
This helps it to generate meeting minutes based on your meeting transcript, and it will keep on learning how to generate good meeting minutes.
