Artificial intelligence (AI) is software that mimics human thinking and can be useful in getting tasks done. It approximates human thinking by detecting and continuing patterns. AI models, like large language models, map out language patterns and can generate responses based on those patterns. AI models are good at low-value written work, coding tasks, sorting and summarizing information, and even engaging in conversations. However, AI models have limitations such as generating hallucinations, bias, and the need for proper training data. The concept of artificial general intelligence (AGI), though not currently achievable, raises questions about potential benefits and risks.
