• It is also a difficult question, for two reasons.
• First, "generative AI" is not just one product from one company.
• It is a catch-all name for a massive ecosystem of loosely related technologies, including conversational text chatbots like ChatGPT, image generators like Midjourney and DALL-E, coding assistants like GitHub Copilot, and systems that compose music and create videos.
