Generative AI means any artificial intelligence that generates some sort of output. This is different from Machine Learning which attempts to optimize output after successive tries. Machine Learning or ML is a form of AI, but typically not generative AI.
For applications like ChatGPT, it generates text. ChatGPT is a Large Language Model or LLM. LLMs are trained on text and given a prompt or a question, respond in text. You can ask ChatGPT to write a poem, give you fashion advice or plan your vacation. The output will be text.
OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, also has an application called Dall-E. Dall-E is also a generative AI, but it’s output is images. Given a prompt, Dall-E generates images in the style requested. If you ask Dall-E to create an image of a dinosaur riding a skateboard, it will do it’s best to generate that image for you.
In all cases, the prompt is the key. The better the prompt – the information you give to the generative AI engine, the better your output.
