LLMs can solve tasks described as natural language
Andrej Karpathy, a well-known computer scientist and AI researcher, recently tweeted “English is the hottest programming language.” What did he mean by this? In this section, you’ll learn that you can make a computer perform your task by formulating it properly in natural language. And it’s a program, isn’t it? Let’s look at what this means, and how you can ask a computer to do things in plain English.
How can LLMs solve almost any task?
GPT-3 demonstrated strong performance on most language tasks (that it wasn’t specifically trained for) and provided domain adaptation due to in-context learning. This means that you can teach a model to do what you want by describing a task in simple natural language! You don’t need to undertake the costly retraining process anymore, which includes preparing a dataset and updating any weights. You can just describe what you wish and feed...
