Generative AI refers to a class of artificial intelligence that can create new content—whether it’s text, images, audio, video, or code. Unlike traditional AI that analyzes and predicts, generative AI produces original outputs based on the patterns it has learned from data. Generative AI is transforming how we create, imagine and innovate.
From writing human-like content and generating stunning visuals to composing music and even developing code—Generative AI is at the heart of next-gen creativity.
But what makes it tick? And how can your business or project harness it responsibly and effectively? Let's break it down.
These models learn patterns in data and recreate similar content.
Autoregressive Models (e.g., GPT, RNNs, LSTMs)
Variational Autoencoders (VAEs)
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs)
Rule-based logic and statistical methods (like Markov Chains) were early stepping stones.
Simple feedforward networks helped in generating digits and text.
RNNs and LSTMs made it possible for machines to start forming sentences and respond to basic questions.
This is where things start to scale and get exciting.
Combine vision, language, and audio (e.g., GPT-4, CLIP, Flamingo) for smarter, richer interactions.
Example: Text-to-image tools like DALL·E 3.
Mastering prompts helps users get the most accurate and creative responses.
Artists, designers, and developers are now co-creating with AI.
Teaching AI without labeled data for better scalability and flexibility.
Helps AI align with human values and generate more truthful responses.
Example: How ChatGPT evolved with RLHF to become safer and smarter.
