Wait, what is..
Generative AI: Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence that creates, or generates, digital content like articles, stories using text or making art and movies using video. You instruct this AI with text prompts, and using data it has been previously trained on, it generates these new things.
LLM / Large Language Model: A LLM is a type of artificial intelligence system that is able to understand and generate human language. It is pre-trained on a vast amount of data and uses it to predict the next most relevant word given the context of the rest of the text. Ask ChatGPT about it and deep dive.
