By providing a directive sentence (prompt), the AI can generate text. These AIs are expected to be used as tools to support tasks involving text creation or management, traditionally done by humans.
Traditional AI primarily focused on predicting future numbers based on numerical data, known as predictive AI. In contrast, text generation AI, which responds to text prompts in a dialogue format, is garnering attention as it differs from traditional AI.
