If you multiply a number by a weight, you get nothing special.

If you add up a bunch of those, you get a weighted sum.

If you add a bias and squish it through a curve, you get a neuron.

If you put a hundred neurons side by side, you get a layer.

If you stack layers, you get a neural network.

If you let every word score how relevant every word is, you get 'Attention'.

If you combine attention with that network, you get a transformer block

If you stack dozens of those and train them to predict the next word on the internet, you get ChatGPT.

And if you rewind all of it, you get one number times a weight.
