What is a response?
The text, images, audio, or video that a generative AI model infers.
response explained in plain English
The text, images, audio, or video that a generative AI model infers. In other words, a prompt is the input to a generative AI model and the response is the output.
Example
Practitioners refer to response when building, training, or evaluating machine learning systems. It appears in research papers, product documentation, and technical discussions about AI capabilities and limitations.
