How does a Washing Machine work?
You don’t need to know all the details of the inner workings of washing machines to do the laundry, but some core concepts you must master. Similarly, it is not expected that everyone will know and understand all the nitty gritty of Large Language Models and chatbots and AI tools in general (all the better if you want to!) However, it is of uttermost importance that people who use AI (even unconsciously, or unwillingly, as integral part of some tool they have to use or it’s used on them) understand its basic workings and principles. As a consequence, they’ll better know what they can and cannot do with these tools, and how to use them safely and responsibly, for the purpose they were and are made for.
