John Key explains the difference between predictive AI, which forecasts from data, and generative AI, which creates original content. He demonstrates generative AI by asking ChatGPT to plan a 3-day London itinerary for his wife.
My wife, quote, unquote, said to me a couple days ago, I was talking to something about AI and she goes, what is that shit? And I said, oh, well, there's kind of generative AI and predictive AI. And she goes, well, what does that mean? Well, predictive is when you use a series of a data set and you can predict what the future might be. And generative is organic, new, original sort of stuff, right? And she goes, it's got to be a load of crap, isn't it? And I went, okay, well, hold on a minute. So I get chatgpt and I said, we're going to London in a couple of weeks. So I said, okay. I literally type in, I am A mother of two, I live in Auckland, I'm 59 years of age and my stupid husband has taken me to London. I've got three days to fill in. What do I need to do? Bang. It comes out with this. I'm apparently not stupid either because I've taken her to London. It's amazing, sort of, you know, amazing thing.
