Guest post by Alex Nikic In the past few years, Generative AI technology has advanced rapidly, and businesses are increasingly adopting it for a variety of tasks. While GenAI excels at tasks such as document summarisation, question answering, and content generation, it lacks the ability to provide reliable forecasts for future events. GenAI models are not designed for forecasting, and along with the tendancy to hallucinate information, the output of these models should not be trusted when planning key business decisions. For more details, a previous article on our blog explores in-depth the trade-offs of GenAI vs Traditional Machine Learning approaches.
