Large Language Models (LLMs) are computer programs that are fed a huge amount of information from the internet.  A Chatbot, such as ChatGPT, is given a specific task, and then uses all of that stored information to create new writings.  It is based on statistics and probability of the of letters or words that likely come next.

Predictive AI creates new information by starting with random letters, words, or sentences and then using probabilities to predict what would come next. Generative AI can create new products such as images, video games, etc based on the information you give it. LLMs are able to "learn" from the information they have but it is not always right. It requires fine tuning from humans along the way for better results.
