This paragraph from Google's executive guide to generative AI is something everyone should clearly understand, or at least, keep in mind when working with this general-purpose technology: "Foundation [Gen AI] models are best thought of as probability engines that can be nudged and shaped by human input. Because they are probabilistic, they are fundamentally different from traditional software paradigms. When today’s apps need to look up product prices or validate customer information, they use deterministic functions that call a database. In contrast, foundation models use the patterns they learn during training and tuning to calculate the most probable output, such as the most likely answer to a question or an accurate caption for an image." . Garbage in, garbage out. #genai #digitaltransformation #thebasics
