What Is an LLM? Large Language Models in Plain English

An LLM (Large Language Model) is the technology that powers ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. It's a type of AI that was trained on enormous amounts of text and learned to predict and generate language — which is why it can write, summarize, answer questions, and reason through problems.

LLM Behavior Explainer

Explain a specific aspect of how LLMs work that relates to my daily use.

I use AI for: [YOUR PRIMARY AI USE CASE]
Something confusing about AI I've noticed: [e.g. "it forgets things mid-conversation" / "it makes up facts confidently" / "it gives different answers to the same question"]

Explain:
1. Why this happens (technically, but in plain language — no jargon)
2. What this tells me about how I should use AI differently
3. The one limitation of LLMs I should always keep in mind for my use case
4. One practical workaround for the behavior I described
