== Definition ==
The New York Times definition is <i>Silicon Valley has been gripped by a frenzy over start-ups working on “generative” A.I., technologies that can generate text, images and other media in response to short prompts.</i><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/07/technology/generative-ai-chatgpt-investments.html | title=A New Area of A.I. Booms, Even Amid the Tech Gloom | work=The New York Times | date=7 January 2023 | last1=Griffith | first1=Erin | last2=Metz | first2=Cade }}</ref>
The Pinaya et al. definition is <i>Generative AI refers to a set of artificial intelligence techniques and models designed to learn the underlying patterns and structure of a dataset and generate new data points that plausibly could be part of the original dataset.</i><ref>
The NYT definition can be objected to on the grounds that [[Generative adversarial network|GAN]] is generative but does not take prompts as input. NYT was probably conflating the broader category of [[Generative model]] with the specific category of [[Generative pre-trained transformer]] and similar transformer-based architectures, which happened to become popular in 2022. Furthermore the "text, images and other media" part can be objected to on the grounds that a [[Generative model]] can generate outputs such as robot actions and industrial HVAC control<ref>
The Pinaya et al. definition can be objected to on the grounds that it doesn't mean much to a Wikipedia reader who is not an expert in the subject. The common usage of "Generative AI" in 2023, and the reason readers will be looking it up, is to refer to systems like [[ChatGPT]], [[Midjourney]], and so on.
