One reason it often is hard to categorize generative artificial intelligence is that it can assume different sorts of roles. When using Gemini, it can appear to be an application: you ask it questions and it answers.
But many would note that Gen AI is also sometimes analogous to a graphical user interface: a way to interact with a computer and its resources. Like a GUI, generative AI acts as an intermediary between the user and the underlying complexities of a system. It translates user intent into specific instructions for the computer to generate desired outputs (think image generation based on text descriptions), using natural language.
But sometimes, Gen AI might operate as a platform, supporting many other applications and use cases. At other times, it might seem to be an operating system, allocating resources or workflows.
Perhaps most often, Gen AI will be a feature of any existing application.
Generative AI Use Case | Analogy | Example |
Text-to-Image generation | GUI | A design tool where users describe an image concept and the AI generates different visual options. |
Music generation based on genre or mood | Application | A standalone application that creates original music pieces based on user-specified preferences. |
Custom GUI | OS | An AI system creates a customized interface based on a single user’s history of interactions |
Background removal tool in photo editing software | Feature of an Application | A photo editing program that incorporates an AI feature to automatically remove the background from an image. |
Resource and task management | OS | Someday GenAI might allocate resources or create scripts or workflows based on past user experience |
AI-powered chatbot for customer service | Application or Feature of an Application | A virtual assistant that can answer customer questions and complete tasks in a conversational way. |
AI-generated product descriptions in e-commerce | Feature of an Application | An e-commerce platform that uses AI to generate unique and creative product descriptions based on product details. |
Code generation for programmers | Feature of an Application | A development environment that uses AI to suggest or automatically complete lines of code, improving programmer productivity. |
