What is Text Generation?

It is the computer's ability to produce text by constructing meaningful and natural sentences based on the commands given.

Overview

Text generation is based on artificial intelligence's ability to predict the next word using language models. This process covers a wide spectrum, from a simple email draft to writing a complex story. Thanks to the huge data sets it learns, the machine can create fluent and contextual texts that are very close to human language.

Analogy: It's like when someone starts a sentence with you, they guess the rest of the sentence and complete it; But the computer does this by calculating billions of possibilities.
