Answer explanation

"When you ask ChatGPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) a question or provide a prompt, it processes the input and generates a response by predicting the next word or sequence of words. It does this by analyzing patterns it learned during training. It doesn’t understand text in the way humans do but uses statistical associations to create coherent and contextually relevant responses."
