from AI Automation Alchemist · host Rey Ortega
Most people don’t understand how AI actually works — and that’s okay.In this episode, I explain Large Language Models using a simple story anyone can understand.Neural networks, transformers, hallucinations, and RAG are usually explained with math, code, and diagrams that look like spider webs.So I did something different.In this bonus episode of the AI Automation Alchemist podcast, I use a simple story — a flat tire and a cocktail party — to explain:How Large Language Models actually workWhat input layers and hidden nodes really doWhy AI hallucinatesHow transformers keep context intactHow Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) injects factsWhy AI feels intelligent without “thinking”No code. No math. No hype.If you’ve ever nodded along pretending to understand neural networks — this episode is for you.Sponsored by:Grata Software — custom AI & automationDigital Strike Hub — learn AI the right way#ChatGPT #LLM #ArtificialIntelligence #AIExplained #Automation
