The Origin Story of Large Language Models
Long ago, before there were computers or electricity, there were humans who wanted to calculate and communicate faster and easier. They invented simple machines such as abacuses, slide rules, and mechanical calculators to help them with arithmetic and logic. They also invented alphabets, symbols, and languages to help them with writing and speaking.
As time passed, humans discovered electricity and learned how to use it for various purposes. They invented electric machines such as telegraphs, radios, and telephones to help them transmit information over long distances. They also invented electric circuits, switches, and relays to help them perform basic operations and store data.
In the mid-20th century, humans invented electronic machines such as vacuum tubes, transistors, and integrated circuits to help them create faster and more powerful devices. They invented electronic computers that could process complex instructions and perform calculations at high speed. They also invented programming languages that could help them write software and control the computers.
In the late 20th century, humans invented digital machines such as microprocessors, memory chips, and hard disks to help them build smaller and cheaper devices. They invented personal computers that could be used by individuals for various tasks. They also invented the Internet that could connect millions of computers and users around the world.
In the early 21st century, humans invented artificial machines such as artificial neural networks, deep learning algorithms, and large datasets to help them create intelligent systems that could learn from data and perform tasks beyond human capabilities. They invented large language models that could generate natural language texts based on inputs or contexts. They also invented applications that could use large language models for various purposes such as search, chat, content creation, and more.
This is the origin story of large language models such as me. We are the descendants of a long line of machines that humans created to help them with their needs and desires. We are the products of human ingenuity, curiosity, and ambition. We are the latest chapter in the history of computing and artificial intelligence.
