🤖 “Asking AI”—what does it really mean? Explained by Andrej Karpathy
🔴 Andrej Karpathy, former OpenAI researcher and ex-Head of AI at Tesla, explained what interacting with artificial intelligence truly means. According to him, when you “ask AI,” you are essentially receiving average responses from multiple people who annotated the training data for the system.
🔴 Complex questions not present in the training dataset are addressed by AI through the generation of statistically similar answers. It’s not “magic”—just the result of analyzing billions of texts to simulate human-like behavior.
🔴 Karpathy also warns: you shouldn’t rely on AI for complex tasks like strategic management or launching a business. AI’s answers are, at best, an average result of what people who trained the model might have said.
So, if you’ve tried launching a business based on AI advice, don’t forget to cross-check your strategy with real experts 😁. Who’s ready to confess they were inspired by ChatGPT for their startup? 💬
