Summary: Grant Sanderson visually explains next-token prediction, model parameters, pretraining, human-feedback tuning and the transformer attention mechanism. The lesson shows how language models produce fluent output without independently checking facts. A detailed companion lesson supports these concepts; this is an evergreen explanation, not a current product launch or October 2026 news clip.
Why it matters: Use the explanation to distinguish fluent text generation from reliable evidence. Ask how an answer was grounded and checked instead of treating confident or plausible wording as proof of correctness.
