ABSTRACT
If you're remotely tuned in to the latest developments in large language models (LLMs), you've probably been inundated with news ranging from claims that these models will replace countless white-collar jobs to statements about sentiment and an impending AI apocalypse. At this stage, the hype surrounding these models has far exceeded the actual information available.

In this talk, we will cut through the noise and take a deep dive into the current applications, risks, and limitations of LLMs. We start with early research efforts aimed at creating an "artificial brain" and follow the path that led us to today's advanced text models. Along the way we will discuss how these models came to be mistaken for intelligent systems.

We will shed light on the real requirements for developing true Artificial General Intelligence, and see how far LLMs are from this goal. We'll end with a practical demonstration of how to use LLMs in a way that leverages their strengths, by showing you how to build a system that relies on the powerful natural language capabilities of these models. […]
