Large Language Models (LLMs) offer a new machine learning interaction paradigm: in-context learning. This approach is clearly much better than approaches that rely on explicit labelled data for a wide variety of generative tasks (e.g. summarisation, question answering, paraphrasing). In-context learning can also be applied to predictive tasks such as text categorization and entity recognition, with few or no labelled exemplars.
