Good educational introduction to Large Language Model (LLM):

Link to videoFinally got around to watching that (short) video. Not sure I'm clearer or more confused about it all, ha. The processing behind it is impossible to comprehend, which makes it both exciting and dangerous to an extent. Nonetheless, I wonder if AI will in the future be so good that it could do seemingly impossible things such as translating animal sounds (what's that dog saying?) or more pragmatically, what EXACTLY will the weather be in 2 weeks.

And then connect that data to your quantum computer to predict what they do next.

ChatGPT Plus for all ... in the UAE:
"ChatGPT Plus" is something that costs $20/month if we want it. The UAE has struck a deal with OpenAI to make ChatGPT Plus available to all the citizens and residents of the UAE at no cost to them.

I don't know.
But the ChatGPT you get in UAE may or may not be the same as the ChatGPT you get here.
Not that hard to imagine different localizations, be it naturally occurring because the underlying algorithms take the user's geographic location into account, or due to censorship placed by the governments in different jurisdictions.

New studies show how generative AI has influenced human speech:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/08/20/chatgpt-claude-chatbots-language/
Researchers found signs of human speech patterns becoming more like AI, and can trace back to certain patterns more prevalent in certain poorer countries where cheaper labor were hired to fine tune AI language models.
Then there is the counter movement where some people who are aware of AI influence to in turn deliberately moderate their own speech to sound less like AI.
