eli5: Why does ChatpGPT give responses word-by-word, instead of the whole answer straight away?

1.48K viewsOtherTechnology

This goes for almost all AI language models that I’ve used.

I ask it a question, and instead of giving me a paragraph instantly, it generates a response word by word, sometimes sticking on a word for a second or two. Why can’t it just paste the entire answer straight away?

It’s streaming. You can make an LLM that is non-streaming and it will show the response as a block.
