Frequently Asked Questions About Generative AI
What is Generative AI?
Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence that can create new, original content, such as text, images, audio, and code, based on the data it was trained on.
What are the different types of Generative AI models?
Common types include:
- Large Language Models (LLMs): Generate text (e.g., GPT-5).
- Diffusion Models: Create images and videos (e.g., DALL-E, Midjourney).
- Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs): Produce realistic images and other data.
- Transformers: A foundational architecture used in many LLMs and other models.
Is ChatGPT the same as Generative AI?
No, ChatGPT is a specific application of Generative AI. It is a chatbot built on a large language model (LLM) that uses Generative AI to produce conversational text.
What is an example of Generative AI?
An example is using a text-to-image model like DALL-E, which can generate a realistic image of "a cat wearing a spacesuit riding a skateboard" from a simple text description.
What is the difference between AI and Generative AI?
AI is a broad field of study focused on creating intelligent machines. Generative AI is a specific subset of AI that focuses on creating new content, as opposed to other AI types that are used for tasks like classification or prediction.
What are the risks of Generative AI?
Key risks include:
- Misinformation and deepfakes: Creating convincing but false content.
- AI hallucinations: Large language models can generate misleading results because they do not have an internal sense of what is true and false.
- Bias: AI models can inherit and amplify biases from their training data.
- Copyright issues: Uncertainty about ownership of AI-generated content and the use of copyrighted data for training.
- Job displacement: The potential for automation to impact certain jobs.
What is the role of a "prompt" in Generative AI?
A prompt is the input, usually text, that a user gives to a Generative AI model to guide its output. It acts as the instructions or query that tells the AI what to create.
What are the most common uses of Generative AI?
Common uses include:
- Content creation: Writing articles, social media posts, and marketing copy.
- Coding: Generating code, debugging, and assisting with software development.
- Art and design: Creating images, logos, and digital art.
- Research: Summarizing documents and generating hypotheses.
- Customer service: Powering chatbots and virtual assistants.
