In the effort curb misunderstanding and #AIHype on the topic of language models (LMs), we're circulating a tweet thread to offer a baseline understanding of how systems such as OpenAI's GPT-3 work to deliver sequences of human-like text in response to prompts. /1
We're directing this thread especially to our humanist readers who may be only peripherally aware of the increased commercialization of (and hype about) "artificial intelligence" (AI) text generators.

The best known of these models is OpenAI’s GPT-3, which is licensed by Microsoft. Students can use them to generate human-like text by paying OpenAI directly or subscribing to subsidiary “apps." They may also access less powerful but free models for text generation. /3
