- [Tim] First, what exactly is artificial intelligence or AI? Let's define it as a computer science field dedicated to creating machines that can perform tasks requiring human-like intelligence, like problem-solving, learning, and understand natural language. That's particularly true for GPT where we provided a natural language prompt and the completion or result it gives us back may be language, may be source code, or a combination of the two. The important principle, though, is that the AI gives us back not just a copy paste of existing data, but net-new knowledge. This is what's called generative AI. Generative AI is an artificial intelligence subset that focuses on creating new data models using images, sound, or text, that can mimic or recreate human-like patterns based on the input it's been trained on. And that's true, by the end of this lesson, you'll know exactly how generative AI works from an end…
