It's like how we teach a child the concept of an apple - it's round, red, has a stem on top. We show them multiple pictures of apples and then they understand and can recognize an apple in future. Similarly, we feed lots of data to the machine, and slowly, it starts learning from that data, and can then make relevant predictions or decisions based on what it has learnt. A co"

This new, reasoning skills introduce a small delay in its response and explains what it does during the delay but I do not really think that it is "thinking" any differently than before, except that it is constrained by some purported rules when asked to summarise certain b"

    "Reinforcement Learning is a type of machine learning where an agent learns to make decisions by trying out different actions and receiving rewards or penalties in return. The goal is to learn, over time, which actions yield the highest rewards. There are three core components in RL: The agent — the learner or decision-maker (e.g., an algorithm or robot), The environment — everything the agent interacts with, Actions and rewards — the agent takes actions, and the environmen"

With that said, I typically work closely with my engineering and onboard them during the planning sessions to have a say on the design and feasibility.
