When people hear the terms AI and GPT, they often think they’re the same thing. But while they’re connected, they’re not interchangeable—and understanding the difference is key to unlocking the tech of tomorrow.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the big umbrella. It refers to machines designed to think, learn, and adapt like humans—or better. From your smart thermostat to facial recognition on your phone, AI is all around you.
GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer), on the other hand, is a specific kind of AI that focuses on language. It powers tools like ChatGPT, writing assistants, and intelligent chatbots. It’s trained on massive amounts of data and learns how to respond, write, explain, and even create.
Here at Silver Surfer Tech, we ride both waves. We build, use, and explore custom GPTs to help individuals and businesses automate tasks, boost productivity, and explore new creative territory.
In short:
- AI = The whole smart machine universe
- GPT = The language-powered brains inside some of those machines
And that’s just the beginning.
