language models
Word probability engines
Language models are AI systems trained to predict and generate text by learning patterns from massive amounts of written material.
They power chatbots, translation tools, and autocomplete features.
Modern large language models like GPT can write essays, answer questions, and hold conversations, though they work by statistical pattern-matching rather than genuine understanding: The language model generated a surprisingly coherent response.
