Generative AI: making new text and images — AI for students

AI tip

Makes, not just sorts — “generative AI creates something new; other AI sorts, spots or predicts”

1. Generative AI makes something new: a poem, a story, a picture, a tune, quiz questions, a draft letter.
2. Other AI sorts, spots or predicts: spotting spam, unlocking with a face, predicting rain, suggesting a video.
3. The output can be text, an image, or music and sound — and it can be wrong, so check it.

Use it for: Using an AI chatbot or an image generator for a school project — with permission and checking.

Worked example: ✨ Generative or not: writing a new poem? → makes something new
