- [What is a Generative Adversarial Network? An Easy Guide](https://zilliz.com/glossary/generative-adversarial-networks): Just like we classify animal fossils into domains, kingdoms, and phyla, we classify AI networks, too. At the highest level, we classify AI networks as "discriminative" and "generative." A generative neural network is an AI that creates something new. This differs from a discriminative network, which classifies something that already exists into particular buckets. Kind of like we're doing right now, by bucketing generative adversarial networks (GANs) into appropriate classifications.
So, if you were in a situation where you wanted to use textual tags to create a new visual image, like with Midjourney, you'd use a generative network. However, if you had a giant pile of data that you needed to classify and tag, you'd use a discriminative model.
