Generative AI is distinct from other types of AI in that it focuses on creating new content by learning patterns from existing data. This includes generating text, images, audio, and other types of media. Unlike AI that primarily analyzes data to make decisions or predictions, Generative AI actively creates new and original outputs. This ability to generate diverse content is a hallmark of Generative AI models like GPT-4, which can produce human-like text, create images, and even compose music based on the patterns they have learned from their training data.
