Covers generative AI history from ELIZA in the 1960s to the 2017 Transformer (Attention Is All You Need) architecture and practical limits: models trained on massive corpora (Wikipedia, Twitter, web) with GPT‑4: 1.76 trillion params and reported training costs ~USD100M. Demonstrates fine‑tuning (ChatDoctor) that improves medical specificity, shows failures like Microsoft’s Tay shut down after 16 hours, highlights bias from averaged image generations across 300 faces per occupation, and reproduces hallucinations where models confidently state false facts.
