WHAT IS Generative AI? Generative AI is called generative because ultimately it is used to generate something (text, pictures, other media) in response to a prompt. Generative describes what it does, not the process by which it completes a task. Generative AI works by recognizing patterns and then predicting the likeliest response to a prompt. Generative AI you know and are familiar with probably includes text-producing AI like Open AI’s ChatGPT or Google’s Gemini.
