Generative AI
Also written as GenAI
AI systems that create new content — text, images, code, audio — rather than just classifying or predicting from existing data.
Think of it like
Like a machine that doesn't just sort or search existing photos, but actually paints a brand-new picture or writes a new paragraph.
Junior or senior?
Junior sounds like
Calls an existing generative API and stops there.
Senior sounds like
Can name the specific modality they worked in and whether they built the generation pipeline themselves.
Ask them
“What kind of content did you generate, and did you build the pipeline or call an existing API?”
