Why I Am Not Afraid AI Will Take My Job

Large language models (LLMs) are here to stay. So is their impact on many professions. Our work in IT is no exception to that rule. Some doomsayers predict that such models will soon make large parts of our work redundant.

So, is it time to start queuing up in the unemployment line? I don't think so! To understand why, I will explain how an LLM works behind the facade of the prompt window. Once we understand what an LLM essentially is, we will better understand the threats and the opportunities for our work.

Join me to get a better understanding of the inner workings of an LLM. As a bonus, you will leave the room with a much more optimistic view of what their impact on your work can be.
