Generative AI

Generative AI is a class of models that creates content from user input. For example, generative AI can create novel images, music compositions, and jokes; it can summarize articles, explain how to perform a task, or edit a photo.

Generative AI can take a variety of inputs and create a variety of outputs, like text, images, audio, and video. It can also take and create combinations of these. For example, a model can take an image as input and create an image and text as output or take an image and text as input and create a video as output.

We can discuss generative models by their inputs and outputs, typically written as “type of input”-to-“type of output.” For example, the following is a partial list of some inputs and outputs for generative models:

• Text-to-text
• Text-to-image
• Text-to-video
• Text-to-code
• Text-to-speech
• Image and text-to-image
