ChatGPT isn’t thinking — it’s calculating probabilities.
In this episode, I explain how Large Language Models actually work, in plain English.

Most people use ChatGPT daily without understanding what it’s actually doing.

In this episode of the AI Automation Alchemist podcast, I break down:

What Large Language Models (LLMs) are
How neural networks work (simplified)
What transformers actually do
Why context matters more than prompts
Why AI feels intelligent without “thinking”

This is not hype, not marketing, and not theory — it’s a practical explanation for business owners and builders who want to use AI correctly.
