Top 7 AI Terms You Need To Know
1. LLM (Large Language Model) – The Giant Library That Talks
Imagine walking into the biggest library in the world. You ask the librarian a question, and instead of pointing you to a book, she instantly tells you the answer in a full conversation. That’s what an LLM does—it reads tons of information and responds like a super-smart librarian who never sleeps.
2. Machine Learning (ML) – The Bike That Learns
Picture a little kid learning to ride a bike. At first, they wobble and fall, but after enough tries, they get better without needing help. That’s how machine learning works! AI looks at lots of examples, learns from mistakes, and improves over time—just like a kid mastering their bike.
3. Neural Networks – The Team of Detectives
Imagine a detective trying to solve a mystery. Instead of working alone, they have a team, where each person looks at a small clue. When they put all their clues together, they solve the case! Neural networks work the same way—each layer of “detectives” processes information to figure out an answer.
4. Prompt Engineering – The Magic Spellbook
Imagine you have a magic spellbook, but the spells only work if you say them just right. If you say “Make me a sandwich,” nothing happens. But if you say “Summon a delicious turkey sandwich with extra cheese,” poof! The perfect sandwich appears. That’s what prompt engineering is—finding the right words to get the best response from AI.
5. Hallucination – The Confident Storyteller
Have you ever heard a little kid tell a story that sounds amazing but isn’t actually true? Like, “I saw a dragon on my way to school!” AI sometimes does the same thing—it confidently makes things up! This is called a “hallucination” in AI, and it happens when AI tries to guess an answer but gets it wrong.
6. Fine-Tuning – The Chef Who Specializes
Imagine a chef who can cook anything but decides to become a master at making sushi. They practice over and over until they make the best sushi in town. AI models can do the same thing! When we fine-tune them, we train them to be experts in specific areas, like law, medicine, or customer support.
7. AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) – The Robot That Can Do It All
Right now, robots and AI are like toys that can only do one thing—one plays music, another tells jokes, another answers questions. But AGI is like a magical toy that can do anything a human can do—think, learn, and even make decisions. It’s still science fiction, but some people believe it could happen one day.
