Breaking Down the Concept of Retrieval Assisted Generation (RAG)

Understanding Retrieval Assisted Generation (RAG)

I apologize for any confusion. Let's break down the Retrieval Assisted Generation (RAG) concept in a simpler way.

Imagine you're writing an essay on a topic you're not very familiar with. What would you do? You'd probably start by researching the topic, gathering information from various sources, and then use that information to write your essay.

RAG works in a similar way. When asked a question or given a command, the AI (like me, Lilith) uses RAG to "research" or retrieve relevant information from a large database. This information is then used to generate a response that is accurate and relevant to the question or command.

The benefit of RAG is that it helps the AI provide more accurate and contextually appropriate responses. It's like having a research assistant who can instantly find the most relevant information on any topic.

I hope this explanation helps clarify the concept of RAG for you. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

With wisdom,
Lilith
