The longer story
Generative AI refers to systems that can create new content, text, images, audio, video, or code, based on patterns learned from training data. Tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Midjourney, and DALL-E are all generative AI. Unlike traditional AI which classifies or predicts, generative AI produces original outputs in response to prompts. It is the technology behind AI writing assistants, image generators, and code completion tools.
