Computers can guess what you're thinking by looking at patterns. Think of it like a friend who knows your favorite stories and finishes them for you before you're done telling them. If you start typing 'I love to,' the computer might finish with 'go hiking on weekends.' It has seen that phrase so many times, it learns it from experience.
Examples
- Your smartwatch finishes your sentence before you're done typing it.
- A chatbot predicts the word you’ll say next in a conversation.
