Right now, we are all in the post-ChatGPT era, standing on the precipice of an AI revolution. We come across buzzwords in articles, podcasts, and social media. Everyone around the world is talking about Google's BARD, Microsoft's BING, OpenAI's GPT-4 and Generative AI. All these terms seem to be intertwined and confusing, hindering the overall understanding of current AI trends. So, here is a glossary to help you easily understand these buzzwords to contribute to your technical discussion groups -
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI)
content guide
Can you imagine a video of astronauts dancing to the iconic Gagnam style on the moon? As crazy as it sounds, generative AI is capable of creating anything under the sun. It's a branch of artificial intelligence that "generates" new content based on past learning. So if you feed GAI your entire Pokemon dataset, it will easily generate a new Pokemon for you, complete with a fun name, list of abilities, and a backstory! This form of artificial intelligence is very popular for content creation and data augmentation.
Large Language Model (LLM)
master of language
Imagine a machine that can understand you, speak any language fluently, and help you with tasks like text summarization. LLM is a subset of GAI, where ML models are trained on large datasets and specialize in a range of natural language processing (NLP) tasks, such as text prediction and domain-specific knowledge. Famous examples of LLMs include GPT-3 and Google BERT
GPT
AI transformer
GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is a type of LLM that is good at "generating" content because it is "pre-trained" on a wide range of datasets and can "transform" content through the process of encoding and decoding. It's great for writing aids and predictive text. Imagine having a friend who can write new stories, talk to you, and tell you jokes!
GPT-3、GPT-4
GPT GenZ
GPT-3, GPT-4, and any subsequent GPT versions in the future are advanced versions of GPT. Each generation offers enhanced functionality and the ability to perform a wider range of tasks. Just like GenZ migrated from Facebook to Instagram, GPT-4 can now process images instead of text
ChatGPT
The Ultimate "Chat Table"
You must have come across OpenAI's ChatGPT which can carry on a conversation and provide answers to any of your doubts. It has been extensively trained on conversational data, enabling it to engage users in a natural and human-like manner
InstructGPT
Personalized Lecturer
InstructGPT, another product developed by OpenAI, has similarities to ChatGPT but has been trained on a different dataset and fine-tuned specifically for tasks such as content generation and language translation. It is a fine-tuned version of GPT-3, making it the tool of choice for custom AI applications
AutoGPT
AI Genie
Imagine making a website for your clothing brand or a weather app with just one prompt! AutoGPT is the artificial intelligence wizard that can turn any technological wish into reality without human intervention. It leverages the power of GPT-4 to iterate over hints and independently create items on a per-iteration basis
Microsoft Bing
search sage
Bing is Microsoft's GPT-4 powered conversational search engine. While it's similar to ChatGPT, it gets answers over the web, so it has real-time knowledge. Plus, Bing is able to generate images, which adds a competitive edge!
Google BARD
talk about everything
If we combine Google's "know it all" ability with ChatGPT's ability to talk, we come up with BARD! This is Google's conversational AI chat service, built on top of its advanced LLM PaLM2, capable of extracting answers from the web.
Google BERT
Global Sherlock
If you've ever wondered how Google...googles, BERT is your answer. It stands for Bidirectional Encoder Representation of Transformers, LLM dedicated to Google Search. GPT focuses on one side of the text to give an answer, while BERT looks at both sides of the text to understand and find what we are looking for.
