Generative AI (GenAI) is a type of Artificial Intelligence focused on creating new content rather than just analyzing existing data. Unlike traditional AI that classifies data (e.g., "Is this spam?"), GenAI generates text, images, code, or audio (e.g., "Write a spam email").
2. ML vs. GenAI vs. LLMs
Machine Learning (ML): The broad field of computers learning from data to make predictions.
Generative AI (GenAI): A subset of ML specifically designed to generate new data samples similar to the training data.
Large Language Models (LLMs): A specific type of GenAI trained on massive amounts of text to understand and generate human language (e.g., GPT-4, Llama 3).
