A So a transformer is a type of, let's just, so the best way to think about GPT in general is it's a new type of computer, right, with a new programming language, and that programming language is English. Now, if you go to the OpenAI Playground, if you look at the first line for chat or if you wanted to create a chat, let's talk about how you go from GPT to chat GPT, ok. If you wanted to create a chat GPT from GPT, you literally have to, your first three lines of your prompt are going to be, hey, you are an AI assistant, ok, you are talking to a human being, here's an example, AI colon blah blah blah, welcome, my name is OpenAI, chat GPT, whatever, ah, how can I help you today? Human, and then human says something. Then AI, AI says something. Then human dash.
