Generative AI

"The term AI, as it's used today, refers to computer algorithms that can effectively simulate human cognitive processes - learning, decision-making, problem-solving, and even creativity.

It's this last and perhaps most human quality where generative AI comes into the picture. Like all modern AI, generative AI models are trained on data. They then use that data to create more data, following the rules and patterns they've learned."
