If you’ve ever used ChatGPT, you’ve probably wondered how it knows so much. How does it know how to complete your homework? How is it so good at calculating complex mathematical problems? How can it generate such human-like pieces of text?

It seems that whatever you ask ChatGPT to help you with, you’re talking to an expert genius with the power to do anything.

However, the moment you ask it what day it is, you might find that it struggles to give you an answer. In fact, there are some tasks that ChatGPT (and other similar AI models) simply cannot crack.

As part of the Weekend van de Wetenschap, this interactive workshop will teach you all about ChatGPT. Through interesting puzzles and experiments, you’ll discover how this AI model works, how it computes your prompt, and how it produces an answer – which may sometimes be wrong.
