What is a language model?

Language models are artificial intelligence systems designed to understand, generate, and manipulate human language. They are trained on vast amounts of text data to predict the next word in a sequence, answer questions, write content, translate languages, and perform other language-related tasks. Modern language models, such as those based on deep learning, have revolutionized natural language processing by enabling more accurate and context-aware interactions between humans and machines.

What is the difference between Language Model vs Data Scientist?
