Generative AI is a meaningless buzzword for the same underlying technology
What? An AI that can “detect repirstory ilnesses in xrays and MRI scans” is not generative. It does not generate anything. It’s a discriminative AI. Sure, the theories behind these technologies have many things is common - but I wouldn’t call them “the same underlying technology”.
Because they are both computers and you can install different (GPU-bound) software on them?
It’s true that generative AI is uses discriminative models behind the scenes, but the layer needed on top of that is enough to classify it as a different technology.

It is litterally the exact same technology. If i wanted to i could turn our xray product into a image generator in less than a day.
