From OpenAI’s ChatGPT to Google and Facebook throwing their hats into the ring, the tech giants are all over it. Photoshop, Roblox, Amazon… everybody jumps on the bandwagon with their new Generative AI features and people started creating content in ways we could only dream of a decade ago.

But while Generative AI is making its way into all industries, the question becomes: Can it really create something original?

In this post, I’ll try to cut through the hype and explore what generative AI is, how it works, and whether its creations can be considered original.

Hence the term “AI model”: because this process builds a mathematical model that represents the patterns and relationships found in the training data.
