About this lesson

Gen AI vs LLM – What's the Difference? Many people think Gen AI and LLM are the same, but they're not! Generative Artificial Intelligence is the broad field of creating machines that can think, learn, and make decisions. Examples include self-driving cars, face recognition, recommendation systems, and robots. Large Language Models (LLMs) are a type of AI that specialize in understanding and generating human language. They power tools like ChatGPT and can answer questions, write emails, summarize documents, and generate code. AI = The entire human body LLM = The language center of the brain Every LLM is Gen AI, but not every Gen AI is an LLM. Follow for more easy AI explanations!
