Amongst the AI, a subset called generative AI has created waves. Most of us have come across ChatGPT, DALL-E and Midjourney. What is precisely generative AI?
Generative AI is capable of creating content or new content. This content could be in the form text, images, music or even code.
AI models developed so far learn from vast amounts of existing data to generate content.
The most popular generative AI model is GPT or Generative Pre-trained Transformer made by OpenAI. This is a pioneering innovation. It is versatile — it can write essays; it can speak and can create image. As OpenAI has made it accessible through ChatGPT — it has democratized AI. It is being upgraded continuously — GPT-3, GPT-4 and beyond.
There are other models too — Gemini from Google, Claude from Anthropic, LLaMA from Facebook, Stable Diffusion from Stability AI and Copilot from Microsoft. Each of these models have its pros and cons. However, GPT is still at the top of the ladder.
GPT in particular and other generative AI models have created a technological gold rush. It is the time for companies to integrate AI into their systems and operations. There are AI-powered digital assistants, code developers and therapists.
All is not well. There are issues. There are issues of copyright violations, job displacement and deepfakes. The field is evolving by leaps and bounds. This is just the beginning. Future iterations of the model would be even more capable. There is cut-throat competition. The landscape changes constantly. Generative AI is a technological revolution that will transform the world. We have seen just the tip of the iceberg. We have yet to see its future potential. Be ready to see the wonderful AI ride.
