Generative AI Overview 

Generative AI is a type of machine learning that can produce new data that closely resembles the data it was trained on. This data can be in the form of text, audio, or video, and can come from various sources, including web scraping from the internet. When a user inputs a prompt, the system breaks it down into smaller units of words, called tokens, for pre-processing within its neural network. The AI system then generates output based on its understanding of the overall semantics, structure, calculation, and prediction patterns of the words.

Image Generative AI  
Generating images is a more complicated task due to the nature of its data type, which requires a different process. Image generation relies on a type of artificial intelligence called generative adversarial networks (GANs), which consist of two main components: a ‘generator’ and a ‘discriminator’. The process begins with the ‘generator’ creating an image based on the user’s prompts. Then, the ‘discriminator’ compares this generated image to a real image providing feedback to the generator. This comparison process continues until the discriminator can no longer distinguish between the generated and real images.

Privacy & Ethical Considerations

It's crucial to keep in mind some essential things while using AI tools, such as data privacy, algorithmic bias, plagiarism, and hallucinations.

Data privacy is a significant concern while using AI tools as they can collect information about your behavior, habits, patterns, and usage. Therefore, it's essential to review the tool's privacy policy before using it.

Algorithmic bias is another issue that can impact the output of AI systems. The output is influenced by the data used to train the system. If the data is not diverse or representative, the output may reflect this bias. Therefore, it's crucial to be aware of potential bias while using AI tools.

Plagiarism is a form of academic dishonesty. Passing off someone else's work as your own is not acceptable and should be avoided while using AI.

Hallucinations can occur while using AI systems. These systems are not perfect, and they may generate or hallucinate information. This is a common issue in ChatGPT. Therefore, it's always advisable to double-check the output to ensure its accuracy.
