A quick rundown of this product’s key features:
An insider look at the Large Language Models (LLMs) that are revolutionizing our relationship to technology, exploring their surprising history, what they can and should do for us today, and where they will go in the future—from an AI pioneer and neuroscientist
In this accessible, up-to-date, and authoritative examination of the world’s most radical technology, neuroscientist and AI researcher Christopher Summerfield explores what it really takes to build a brain from scratch. We have entered a world in which disarmingly human-like chatbots, such as ChatGPT, Claude and Bard, appear to be able to talk and reason like us – and are beginning to transform everything we do. But can AI ‘think’, ‘know’ and ‘understand’? What are its values? Whose biases is it perpetuating? Can it lie and if so, could we tell? Does their arrival threaten our very existence?
These Strange New Minds charts the evolution of intelligent talking machines and provides us with the tools to understand how they work and how we can use them. Ultimately, armed with an understanding of AI’s mysterious inner workings, we can begin to grapple with the existential question of our age: have we written ourselves out of history or is a technological utopia ahead?

Title: interesting but not what I wanted
Review: It’s not the fault of the author or the publishers that this book is not what I was looking for. I wanted something that would help me understand more about what hardware is inside an AI, and something about how it’s connected. (of course I don’t expect a circuit diagram!). This book, however, is about similarities and differences between human brains and AIs, when or if AI’s can or will ever “think” — whatever that means — etc.

Title:
Review: Easy to read. Manages to be light hearted about a serious topic. Never felt I was being overwhelmed by jargon.Good for those curious about LLMs and how AI has developed, how these models compare with human reasoning and thinking, and what it all means.
