Pre-trained.

On what?

On the internet.

So these machines are very good at mimicking human language.

Why?

Because they are trained on the universe of human language.

They're very... If you ask it to, you know...

write a sonnet in the style of William Shakespeare about the experience of waking up in the morning, well, guess how many sonnets are on the internet and how many descriptions of waking up in the morning on the internet.

It will do an A++ job.

If you ask it a question about...

cellular function, you're out of luck.

There's no internet of human anatomy.

It doesn't exist.

There's no internet of something as ineffable as, or maybe highly specific as like the leadership qualities of middle linebackers going back in the last 35 years.

Like that is a data set that doesn't perfectly exist.

And so I think I'm really happy that we've landed on this

on this spot, because I think it's very important for people to understand.

I think about this sometimes in the language of shapes.

It's very important for people to understand the shape of AI intelligence, which the adjective that is often used to describe it is jagged.

And that jaggedness explains the fact that it might be very good at, say, researching the history of people, tight ends who've run under a 4.4, 40-yard dash.
