AI doesn't retrieve stored answers. It predicts the next word. Then the next. Then the next — based on billions of real-world examples. Given everything before
Large language models do not retrieve information from a database but instead predict the next word in a sequence. This prediction process is based on analyzing vast amounts of real-world data. Understanding this fundamental mechanism highlights the critical importance of context in generating effective prompts for AI systems. AI
