Here is everything you need to know about this technology. What is Generative AI? Like other forms of artificial intelligence , generative AI learns how to take actions from past data. It creates brand new content — a text, an image, even computer code — based on that training, instead of simply categorising or identifying data like other AI. The most famous generative AI application is ChatGPT , a chatbot that Microsoft -backed OpenAI released late last year. The AI powering it is known as a large language model because it takes in a text prompt and from that writes a human-like response. GPT-4 , a newer model that OpenAI announced this week, is "multimodal" because it can perceive not only text but images as well. OpenAI's president demon
