What is generative AI?
Unlike AI that classifies or predicts, generative AI creates: text (Claude, GPT), images, voice, video. It relies on models trained to reproduce and recombine the patterns of huge datasets.
The main uses
Writing and summarizing, image generation and editing, synthetic voice, code, dubbing and video. For text and code, Claude is a benchmark; other players lead image and video.
Limits and precautions
Hallucinations, copyright, deepfakes: power comes with risks. Fact-checking, citing sources and guarding sensitive uses remain essential.
