What you’ll learn
- Watch a model predict text one word at a time — and why that is all it does
- Run the four-step cadence: complete, predict, explain, and the nonsense test
- Leave with the keystone idea: AI is a very good autocomplete machine
The one idea you leave with
An LLM predicts the next word — it is a very good autocomplete machine.
How it works
This isn’t a video or a wall of text. You sit inside a working replica of an AI chat interface and click through the lesson yourself — the responses are scripted by design, so the teaching lands the same way every time. About 6 minutes, free, nothing to install.
