- junofan 3y agoIt’s at least 40 years old. Think Gibbs sampling was invented the 1980s
- whimsicalism 3y agoGibbs sampling is not generative AI. Really, generative AI is not at all a well defined term. It is, unfortunately, not the same thing as a generative model.
- junofan 3y agoWhat’s generative AI?
- whimsicalism 3y agoA buzzword - generally I would say it refers to using unsupervised training of some neural network model and then generating new data in the domain from the model. I believe it originally grew out of the phrase "generative model" (which models the joint data probability distribution) but most of the prominent 'generative AI' models (like GPT) are not actually generative models but discriminators. Regardless, outside of simple things like matrix multiplication, the theory of backpropagation (although not the implementations), language modeling as a concept, etc. - almost all of these techniques are within the last decade and a half or so.
