What is Generative AI? Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that uses generative models to produce text, images, videos, or other forms of data. These models learn underlying patterns and structures from training data (much of which was taken from writers without consent) and use this to produce new data based on the input. Common generative AI includes: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, and many, many more.
