Text Generation
Text generation is the AI task of producing coherent, contextually relevant text, typically through autoregressive language models. Modern text generation powers chatbots, creative writing tools, and code assistants.
Understanding Text Generation
Text generation is the process of producing coherent, contextually appropriate written content using AI models, most commonly large language models based on the transformer architecture. These models predict the next token in a sequence based on the preceding context, building complete sentences, paragraphs, and documents one token at a time. Applications span creative writing, code generation, email drafting, content marketing, chatbot responses, and document summarization. The quality of generated text depends on model size, training data, and decoding parameters such as temperature, top-k sampling, and top-p sampling. Techniques like fine-tuning, reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), and prompt engineering help align generated content with desired style, accuracy, and safety requirements. Text generation remains the core capability driving the generative AI revolution.

Chain of Thought
Chain of thought is a prompting technique that encourages large language models to break down complex reasoning into intermediate steps. This approach significantly improves performance on math, logic, and multi-step reasoning tasks.
ChatGPT
ChatGPT is an AI chatbot developed by OpenAI that uses large language models to generate human-like conversational responses. It became one of the fastest-growing consumer applications in history after its launch in November 2022.
Claude
Claude is an AI assistant developed by Anthropic, designed to be helpful, harmless, and honest. It is built using Constitutional AI techniques and competes with models like GPT-4 and Gemini.
Diffusion Model
A diffusion model is a generative AI model that creates data by learning to reverse a gradual noise-adding process. Diffusion models power state-of-the-art image generation systems like Stable Diffusion and DALL-E.
Discriminator
A discriminator is the component of a GAN that learns to distinguish between real and generated data. It provides feedback to the generator, creating an adversarial training dynamic that improves output quality.
Few-Shot Prompting
Few-shot prompting provides a language model with a small number of input-output examples in the prompt to demonstrate the desired task format. This technique helps models understand task requirements without any fine-tuning.
Foundation Model
A foundation model is a large AI model trained on broad data that can be adapted to a wide range of downstream tasks. GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, and DALL-E are examples of foundation models that serve as bases for specialized applications.
GAN
A GAN (Generative Adversarial Network) is a generative model consisting of two competing neural networks — a generator and a discriminator. GANs produce realistic synthetic data by training these networks in an adversarial game.
