37 AI content generators to explore in 2025

What is AI-generated content?

AI-generated content -- or generative AI -- refers to the algorithms that can automatically create new content in any digital medium. Algorithms are trained on a large amount of data. Outputs are then returned based on that data and a comparatively little bit of user input. But the key is that content is new and generated automatically.

The most common example of a generative AI tool is ChatGPT. ChatGPT performs natural language processing and multimodal processing. It is based on the GPT series of AI models, the latest of which is GPT-4o. GPT-4o is trained on a large amount of human data from the internet -- audio, text and images -- and teaches the language model how to respond when interacting with users.

Other generative AI programs work in a similar way. They are trained to develop a body of knowledge and use that knowledge to create novel outputs.

Many commercial generative AI offerings are currently based on OpenAI's generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT and Codex.

What are the different types of AI-generated content?

AI-generated content is not just limited to mimicking human writers. AI-generated content also exists in other media, such as the following:

• Image.
• Speech.
• Video.
• Music.
• Code.

Despite the many types of content generative AI can create, the algorithms used to create it are often large language models such as GPT-4 and Gemini. Many content generators also use multimodal models, which enable them to take inputs and produce outputs in different mediums -- including text, images, video and audio. Over time, more models are being infused with multimodal capabilities, expanding their capabilities beyond just written word. GPT-4 and Gemini are both multimodal. GPT-4's predecessors -- GPT-3 and prior -- were not multimodal.

How generative AI is used

These different media can be used in tandem to generate various content. They can be used in many different fields, including the following:

• Academia, to write papers and other long-form content.
• Law, to write legal documentation.
• Science, to automate and expedite drug discovery.
• Art, to generate new works and unique content ideas.
• Manufacturing, to expedite product development.
• Digital marketing, to produce copy and product descriptions, as well as draft social media posts.
• Software development, to generate, remediate and summarize code.
• Cybersecurity, to perform accelerated threat detection and develop malware.
