AI vs GenAI 

AI vs GenAI • Conventional AI trained for specific inputs and outputs • Trained to perform logical as well as deduction based executions. • Conventional AI prediction based e.g. Predicting weather. • GenAI trained on modals with a wide variety of datasets. • Comes in handy to create content from a creative point of view. • GenAI used to create new content sometimes indistinguishable from human created content. 

Google Gemini 

Google Gemini • Google’s very own GenAI Model created with support multi-modal content generation i.e. images, texts, audio, videos etc. • Focused on generating content which resembles more to human created content to provide fluid interactions between human and AI. • Integration with google services to enhance user experience across google’s ecosystem, making life easier for their users. • Different Gemini API Models available 

Gemini Use Cases 

Gemini Use Cases • Instant Replies. • Rewrite given Texts from prompts. • Compose new Content from given points. • Summarise content. • Create a story or describe details from a given image. • Prompting Gemini to generate responses. 

Examples • Google Messages • Pixel Recorder • Gemini in Android Studio
