Have you ever wondered what generative AI is? Today we will explain what it is and go over the pros and cons of three notable generative AI tools to help you understand the opportunities and challenges of this new game changing AI. Available for free at your fingertips.

Okay, so generative AI. Well, in simple terms, generative AI generates answers to our questions, which are called prompts. Prompts are critical because the accuracy of the answers you receive will depend on the quality of your prompts. The more refined, clear, and accurate the questions, the better the answers. But one thing to keep in mind is that the answers are not guaranteed to be correct. This is called an AI hallucination. So you must cross-reference your answers, especially related to any detailed information.

Generative AI or gen AI is a tool that could create all kinds of content like text, images, videos, music, and more. You can use gen AI to do many things, such as generating incredible images or writing essays or letters, practicing math problems, or even practicing for a job interview. To put it simply, Gen AI is the next generation chat bot, which is simply a computer program designed to simulate conversations with humans. You are likely familiar with simple chat bots, such as the ones you find on websites serving as virtual customer service representatives. Gen AI gets all its information from everything online, everything from Wikipedia to library books to research papers to everything you can imagine.

This is both good and bad because remember, not everything that you see on the internet is true. Today, there are several Gen AI tools available. Each one enables users to ask questions or tell the story, and the genie will respond with relevant, natural sounding answers and suggestions. Each Gen AI tool has their strengths and weaknesses. Again, all Gen AI tools can get information wrong. It is critically important that you cross-reference and confirm information. For example, you can cross-reference with maybe some news articles.

So let's start by offering some highlights from three of the top generative AI tools available to us today for free. You may have heard about ChatGPT, which was launched in 2022. Although ChatGPT was the first tool to be released. Nowadays there are several more options out there for you.

Each Gen AI tool has its strengths based on your needs. For example, ChatGPT can generate ideas and content very quickly and is an assist with brainstorming, including generating a list of essay topics or making book recommendations or planning a birthday party. ChatGPT is a great resource to explore anything you can imagine. From writing a cover letter for a job to creating a research paper. If you want to give it a try, go to chatgpt.com to access their free tools.

Now let's take a look at Google's Gemini. Gemini excels at sustaining a conversation, clarifying ambiguities, and asking intelligent follow up questions. This makes it feel less chat bot like and more of a human like conversational partner, which is ideal for casual chats. For example, you can have a conversation with Gemini to practice for a job interview or chat with a virtual therapist. One of Gemini's biggest advantages is its seamless integration with Google suite of tools and services. For example, while writing in Google Docs, Gemini can act as a writing assistant, offering free real time edits, styling suggestions, or even creative brainstorming. Gemini can pull live data from Google Search or integrate with Gmail when drafting emails, making it a convenient tool for professionals and everyday users. Visit Gemini, google.com and see what it's like.

Lastly, let's take a look at Metas Llama. Meta has also launched its own generative AI tool, and that's called llama. Like the others, llama can write, problem solve, and create images. Llama offers integration across familiar platforms like Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, which means you can access the AI tool via those websites. This option makes it super easy to use. Check it out the next time you're on one of those platforms. Llama is known for its ability to generate incredible images. For example, a creative artist can get great ideas or motivation by typing in. Imagine a blue pod of whales with wings flying over the ocean, and voila! Within seconds you have an incredible image reflecting your prompt, which is the question.

You simply type the word imagine and then anything you would like to see. This feature can help creatives, particularly with great ideas. Visit llama.com to see it with your own eyes.
