Abstract

In the past 1-2 years, there have been significant changes in the field of artificial intelligence. One notable development is the emergence of what is called "generative AI." The key characteristic of this type of AI is its ability to automatically generate various content, including text, images, audio, video, and human-like responses. This capability has led to the application of generative AI in various fields, such as data analysis, computer programming, media design, music composition, and education. Despite its diverse applications, there are limitations to the practical use of generative AI.

This article aims to explore and explain the concept of generative AI, providing examples of popular models like ChatGPT and Gemini. It discusses the benefits of using generative AI in education and outlines the challenges and constraints associated with its application in practical scenarios. The article sheds light on the growing popularity of generative AI and its potential uses while acknowledging the existing limitations and considerations in real-world implementation.
