What a language model is actually doing

A short, visual explanation of how a model turns your words into an answer — no maths, no code. Watch this before you decide whether to trust a particular answer, because most over-trust comes from not knowing what the thing is doing. You'll finish with a working mental model you can explain to a colleague in a minute.
