Lesson 2.
11.Generative AI encompasses a broader range of models capable of generating various types of content beyond
12.just text, while LLM specifically refers to a subset of generative AI models focusing on language tasks.
13.We'll thoroughly explore each term in this lesson.
14.So let's begin with an important question: What is generative AI?
15.Generative artificial intelligence, which is commonly referred to as gen AI, is a subset of artificial intelligence
16.that is capable of creating text, images, or other data using generative models, often in response to prompts.
17.It has grown in popularity hugely since 2021 but artificial intelligence has been around since the mid 1950s.
18.By the way, a prompt is a specific instruction, question, or cue given to a computer
19.program or user to initiate a specific action or response, but we examine this more later.
20.In its current format, gen AI models are like conversational programs that can generate content based on the inputs supplied.
