Abstract

A new era of revolutionary developments in Generative AI has begun with the introduction of Large Language Models (LLMs). When it comes to NLG and Natural Language Understanding (NLU) problems, these models—which have billions of parameters—have shown to be unmatched. This study explores the history of generative AI, with a focus on how LLMs were crucial. We investigate how these models' ability to handle massive volumes of textual data and produce coherent, contextually appropriate text has transformed NLU and NLG. In addition, we explore the methods and approaches used to tap into the potential of LLMs for a variety of applications, such as chatbots, content generation, machine translation, and sentiment analysis. We also take a look at the problems that come with LLM-based generative AI, including things like model bias, the amount of computing power needed for training and fine-tuning, and ethical considerations. We conclude by suggesting avenues for further study in this area, with an eye towards improving LLMs for more general use, reducing their shortcomings, and guaranteeing their ethical implementation in practical settings. This paper provides a thorough review of generative AI as it is right now, explaining how it could change our interactions with and creation of natural language material.
