What a Large Language Model Really Is — From Turing to ChatGPT [AI Stack 01]

What is a large language model, really? Episode one of The AI Stack tells the whole story: from Alan Turing's 1950 question and the 1956 birth of the term "artificial intelligence," through the rule-writing era and the AI winters, to the machine-learning age of predictive analytics, and finally to the transformer and the large language models behind ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. We explain the new dimension LLMs added to AI, and how trained parameters make a model context-aware. No hype, just the real arc of how AI learned to talk.
