🔹 AI allows machines to mimic human intelligence. It powers tools we often use – think recommendation platforms or voice assistants.


🔹 Generative AI crafts new content like texts, visuals, and tunes. It learns from data to create. A striking example? AI-made artwork.


🔹 Text Generation – Meet models like ChatGPT or Bard. They're part of the Large Language Models (LLMs) niche in Generative AI. What makes them "large"? The sheer scale of training data and parameters!


🔹 Image Generation – Models like DALL-E 2 and Midjourney harness techniques to refine random images into specific visual prompts. Imagine a skating cat in space – yes, that's possible!


While AI mimics human thought, Generative AI produces fresh content. Knowledge of this equips you for innovative decisions and ensures you stay ahead in your industry.
