Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to any sort of intelligence exhibited by an artificial system, like a computer or machine, as opposed to a living being. AI can encompass anything from a pocket calculator to an intelligent artificial agent. This guide is mostly concerned with Generative AI - a specific type of AI tool that can generate material from a plain-language prompt. When you think of generative AI, you probably think of Large Language Models (LLMs), but there are other types, including image, video, and sound generators.
