Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between generative AI and traditional AI?
Traditional AI analyzes and classifies data (spam detection, recommendations). Generative AI creates new content that didn't exist before (text, images, video, music).
Will generative AI replace creatives?
No — it augments them. Tools like Midjourney or ChatGPT accelerate creative work but still require artistic direction, domain expertise and human critical thinking.
