Large models are pretrained on broad data, usually through self-supervision at scale, and then adapted to many downstream tasks. The authors name these "foundation models" (examples: BERT, GPT-3, CLIP, DALL-E).

Simple prompting also gives patients that sound unrealistic, missing traits such as casual speech and pushback.
