From Autocomplete to ChatGPT
Trace the evolution from basic text prediction to modern conversational AI and understand what makes LLMs different from earlier NLP approaches.
The Origin of Text Prediction
Before ChatGPT, computers guessed the next word by counting which words usually follow others — an n-gram model. Fast, but no real understanding.
Recurrent Networks Enter the Scene
Next came RNNs: they read text word by word and carried a memory of what came before. Smarter than counting, but slow and forgetful over long text.
