One of the most surprising elements of today's artificial intelligence tools is the ability to create original works. With a few words, anyone can have AI create stories, images, music, video, computer code, and more. It seems like magic, and generative AI is powerful. However, there are also valid concerns about its use.

Common Craft members can download the file and grab embed codes in the video library.

This new video explains:

• How humans and AI are different when it comes to consuming online media
• How AI gathers the data it needs to generate responses
• The role of data and patterns in helping generative AI provide accurate responses
• How prompts and Large Language Models help generative AI
• What’s possible with generative AI
• Why people should be cautious in using media that generative AI creates
• Concerns about Generative AI’s use of copyrighted materials

When a human asks artificial intelligence (AI) how to slice bread, the response sounds human, as if the AI knows about bread and knives. But does AI actually know anything? Can we trust the information it provides?

This succinct video explores how AI uses a ​large language model​ to generate original responses that sound human. It teaches:

• How AI gathers the data it needs to generate accurate responses
• What kinds of media snapshots are collected by AI
• How AI can assemble human-sounding responses
• Why humans should be diligent about evaluating and editing AI response
