Artificial Intelligence / Unit 9 AI 0517 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Context Is Not Training
Captions available
The idea
During a conversation, a language model's knobs do not move — what changes is the context, the words attention reads.
In practice
A correction shapes replies for the rest of the session because it joined the passage — and vanishes when the session ends.
Where people slip
Cross-session memory, where real, is engineering around the model — stored notes fed back into context, not learning inside it.
