Grounded vs. UnGrounded Generative AI

 What is the difference between grounded and ungrounded generative AI?

Imagine a generative AI as a really good story writer. Here's the difference between grounded and ungrounded ones:

  • Ungrounded AI: This is like a writer who relies purely on their imagination. They can create fantastical stories, poems, or scripts, but their work might not always be accurate or based on reality. For example, if you ask them for a news report, they might make up events or dates.

  • Grounded AI: This is like a writer who does research. They can still be creative, but they also access real-world information to ground their stories. So, if you ask them for a news report, they can search the web and give you a factual summary based on real events.

Here's a breakdown of the key differences:

  • Accuracy: Grounded AI is generally more accurate because it considers real-world information.
  • Relevance: Grounded AI tailors its responses to the specific context you provide, making them more relevant.
  • Trustworthiness: Since grounded AI is anchored in facts, its outputs are more trustworthy.
  • Applications: Grounded AI is ideal for tasks where accuracy matters, like summarizing factual topics or generating code.

Ungrounded AI still has its uses! It's great for creative tasks where imagination is key, like writing fiction or generating different artistic styles.
