Hey PaperLedge learning crew, Ernis here, ready to dive into some cutting-edge AI research! Today, we're cracking open a paper about making AI chatbots even better at understanding what we actually want. Now, you know how training AI is like teaching a puppy? You give it treats (rewards) when it does something right. But what if the puppy's a super-smart chatbot, and instead of treats, we give it feedback like "I prefer this response over that one"? That's called Reinforcement Learning from Human
