6GENERATIVE AI: AI GETS CREATIVE

Generative AI is an umbrella term for models that create novel output, either independently (randomly) or based on a prompt supplied by the user. Generative models do not produce labels but text, images, or even video. Under the hood, generative models are neural networks built from the same essential components.

We’ll focus on three kinds of generative AI models: generative adversarial networks, diffusion models, and large language models. This chapter covers the first two. Large language models have recently turned the world of AI on its head. They are the subject of Chapter 7.
