Answer
What is Generative AI?
Generative AI (GenAI) is a form of artificial intelligence that can generate new content such as videos, music, speech, images, and text. The content that GenAI creates is not brand new, however. Instead, GenAI trains on existing data and then uses the patterns and relationships it detects to create something else. This is why GenAI created content is often similar to existing art, speech, and music but not exactly the same.

Using AI
GenAI can be helpful for purposes such as brainstorming and organizing information. However, you should always be cautious when using AI as a tool for assignments. It is an academic violation to use AI as the sole source of your assignments, and you may receive negative consequences if you copy and paste content directly from AI software into your own work.
