🧸 What is GPT?

Imagine you have a very smart talking robot friend who has read millions of books, stories, and conversations.
Because it has read so much, it can talk to you about almost anything!


📖 How does it work?

It’s like when you read your favorite storybook over and over.
After a while, if I say:
“Once upon a ___”
you already know the next word is probably “time”.

GPT does the same thing — it guesses the next word, then the next, until it makes a full answer or story.


🧩 Example

You: “Tell me about cats.”
GPT (the robot): “Cats are small animals that say meow. They love to sleep and play.”

It doesn’t know cats like you do, but it uses all the words it has seen before to guess a good answer.


🎨 Another way to think of it

GPT is like a giant box of LEGO bricks (words).

  • You ask it to build something (a story, an answer, a poem).

  • It takes the LEGO blocks (words) and snaps them together to make something new.


🌟 In short

GPT is a robot that’s really good at guessing the next word, so it can talk, answer questions, and tell stories.
