AI terms are everywhere. To grasp how a working AI system is put together, it’s important to understand the basic parts of its design.

Generative AI, popularized by ChatGPT, uses deep-learning large language models (LLMs) to create text, images, and other content. LLMs are very efficient at describing the world because they have been trained on enormous amounts of data, in some cases almost the entire web. They have been fed many ideas and complex concepts as well as summary and educational explanations. This is why generative AI is so good at summarizing tasks.
