I dont know if it is just me but is anyone else having a loading problem with this particular exercise? where the instructions checkbox will freeze and not load? I have tried refreshing the website and exiting out of the webpage but the problem seems to continue.

Hey! I’m having some trouble understanding why we need to process with an encoder that actually has to iterate over the input!

My thought process is: when using a generative chatbot, we have an already trained model. It already has a matrix with correspondent words to matrix. Why not just use the already made matrix and create a response based on that?
