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

1.49K 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?

Because they are pretending to act like you are chatting with a real person, the thing already made the text, the user interface presents it to you as if someone is typing.

We did the same thing back in college with chat bots, complete with random typos that you’d see it backspace.
