Generative AI vs. predictive AI: What’s the difference?

IBM Journey to AI blog

Many generative AI tools seem to possess the power of prediction. Conversational AI chatbots like ChatGPT can suggest the next verse in a song or poem. Software like DALL-E or Midjourney can create original art or realistic images from natural language descriptions. Code completion tools like GitHub Copilot can recommend the next few lines of code. But generative AI is not predictive AI.
