All things AI

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is a type of artificial intelligence that creates it's own content such as text, images, and video by identifying patterns in large datasets. Unlike extractive AI, which generally analyzes and summarizes existing information, generative AI learns from data inputs and produces new content based on what it learned. Certain GenAI tools operate on large language models (LLMs) which allow them to generate unique content. 

A large language model (LLM) is a specific type of generative AI trained on enormous amounts of data. This data is used by the LLM to predict the next likely sequence of words in response to user prompts. Generative AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Microsoft CoPilot replicate patterns learned from human communication, making their responses sound sophisticated and human-like. Though these LLMs do provide unique responses, they do not generate new ideas or assess the accuracy or relevance of their responses. The user is still responsible for ensuring the content is accurate and well written.
