Generative Artificial Intelligence: Generative AI Overview

We prompted three (3) AI tools (Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and ChatGPT) with, "Give me a detailed description of generative artificial intelligence."

These were the responses:

Google Gemini

"Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), often shortened to Generative AI or GenAI, is a subfield of artificial intelligence that focuses on creating novel content and ideas. Unlike traditional AI systems that might be designed for classification, prediction, or analysis of existing data, generative AI systems are built to produce new data that mimics the patterns and characteristics of the data they were trained on."

Microsoft Copilot

"Generative AI refers to AI systems that use machine learning models--especially deep learning architectures-- to generate new data that mimics the distribution of the training data. These systems are capable of producing original content that is coherent, contextually relevant, and often indistinguishable from human-created content."

ChatGPT

"Generative AI refers to a class of artificial intelligence systems designed to create new content that is similar to human-generated content. This includes text, images, audio, video, code, and even synthetic data. Unlike traditional AI systems that primarily analyze data or make predictions, generative AI produces original outputs by learning patterns from vast datasets."
