Good read but it doesn’t explain anything to me, as a non-researcher who inows nothing about NLP etc.

Word prediction makes sense to me for the translation. It’s easy to intuit how training on millions of sentences would allow the algorithm to translate text.

But how can it reason about complex questions? Isn’t that entirely different from translating between languages?

How can word prediction lead to a coherent long answer with concluding paragraph etc?

By training it with a LOT of data, I suppose.
