 I'm Steve Strogatz, and this is The Joy of Why, a podcast from Quantum Magazine, where I take turns at the mic with my co-host, Jana Levin, exploring some of the biggest questions in math and science today. In this episode, we're going to be speaking to computer scientist Yejin Choi about the architecture and capabilities of large language models, and speculate about whether artificial intelligence, AI, will ever gain common sense.
