  "quick_answer": "Generative AI (gen AI) is AI that creates new content, such as text, images, code, audio and video, from plain-language instructions (prompts). It learns patterns from huge datasets and builds each answer piece by piece by probability. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Midjourney are examples. Businesses use it for content drafts, LINE customer chat, document summaries and Q&A over company documents, but it can be confidently wrong, so a person must check its work, and customer data falls under Thailand's PDPA.",
  "summary": "What is generative AI? Generative AI (gen AI) is AI that creates new content, such as text, images, code, audio and video, from instructions written in plain language. It learns patterns from huge amounts of data and produces the most likely output for your request. ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini are familiar examples. Businesses use it to draft content, answer customer chats and summarise documents, but a person must check the output: it can be confidently wrong. This guide covers how it works, which tools exist, where it fits in a Thai SME, what can go wrong and how to start. For how generative ",

    {
      "question": "How is generative AI different from ordinary AI?",
      "answer": "The AI businesses have used for years, such as spam filters and product recommendations, sorts and predicts from existing data. Generative AI creates new content, such as an email draft, an ad image or code, from plain-language instructions."
    },
    {
      "question": "Is ChatGPT generative AI?",
      "answer": "Yes. OpenAI's ChatGPT is text-based generative AI running on a large language model (LLM), as are Anthropic's Claude and Google's Gemini. Midjourney is generative AI that creates images from descriptions."
    },
    {
      "question": "What is the difference between gen AI and an LLM?",
      "answer": "Gen AI is any AI that creates new content: text, images, audio or video. An LLM (large language model) is the kind of gen AI that works with text, generating answers token by token by probability. So an LLM is one part of gen AI."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can I put customer data into ChatGPT or Gemini under the PDPA?",
      "answer": "Don't put data that identifies customers into personal AI accounts; it falls under Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562. If you need to, use a business plan that doesn't train on your data, strip out what isn't needed, and consult your DPO or lawyer."
    },
    {
      "question": "How much does an AI chatbot on LINE cost?",
      "answer": "At iReadCustomer an AI chatbot is 6–18 man-days (THB 50,000–143,820) and an AI agent 6–25 man-days (THB 50,000–199,750), at the published starting rate of THB 7,990 per man-day. Monthly AI and cloud usage is paid to the providers directly."
    },
    {
      "question": "Why does AI give confident wrong answers, and how do you prevent it?",
      "answer": "Gen AI generates answers by probability rather than looking them up, so it can write convincing but false text. Reduce it by answering from company documents (RAG), requiring citations, allowing \"I don't know\", and having a person check risky work."
