Warm-Up: What is a Word Machine?
Wanda's statement
"…" AI is a machine that guesses words. Just like you - only faster and without a break.
Do you know the game "I spy with my little eye"? Wanda guesses too. But Wanda guesses words! You say: "The moon is round like a ..." - and Wanda guesses the next word. Mostly she guesses "cookie". Or "ball". That is how AI works: it reads millions of texts. It remembers which words often come together. Then it guesses the next word. Over and over. Word by word. It is math, not magic!
Important!
- AI guesses words - one by one.
