It's been a long while since I have posted to this Blog but I wanted to create something contemporary and fresh. Unfortunately everything on this topic has already been blogged to death so I thought I would use Microsoft Edge Compose to put something together for me on this topic to demonstrate it's power!
Generative AI is the hottest topic in the tech world right now. It's the ability to create content that is not only original, but also realistic, coherent and engaging. From text to images, from music to videos, generative AI can produce amazing results that can fool even the most discerning human eyes and ears.
But how does it work? And what are the benefits and challenges of using generative AI? In this blog post, I will try to answer these questions in a simple and funny way. Let's get started!
Generative AI is based on a type of machine learning called deep learning, which uses artificial neural networks to learn from data. These networks are composed of layers of nodes that perform mathematical operations on the input and pass it to the next layer. The more layers, the deeper the network, and the more complex the tasks it can handle.
One of the most popular types of deep learning models for generative AI is called generative adversarial networks (GANs). These are composed of two networks: a generator and a discriminator. The generator tries to create fake content that looks like the real data, while the discriminator tries to tell apart the real from the fake. The two networks compete with each other, improving their skills over time.
The result is that the generator can produce content that is very realistic and diverse, such as faces of people that don't exist, paintings in the style of famous artists, or text in different languages and domains. The discriminator can also be used to evaluate the quality of the generated content, or to detect fake or manipulated content.
Some of the benefits of generative AI are:
- It can enhance human creativity and productivity by providing new ideas, inspiration and feedback.
- It can reduce costs and save time by automating tasks that require a lot of human effort and expertise.
- It can improve accessibility and inclusivity by creating content for different audiences, languages and preferences.
- It can entertain and educate by generating novel and engaging content for various purposes and platforms.
Some of the challenges of generative AI are:
- It can raise ethical and social issues by creating content that is misleading, harmful or offensive.
- It can pose legal and intellectual property issues by creating content that infringes on existing rights or regulations.
- It can require a lot of computational resources and data by creating content that is high-quality and diverse.
- It can be difficult to control and understand by creating content that is unpredictable and complex.
As you can see, generative AI is a fascinating and powerful technology that has many applications and implications. It's also a lot of fun to play with and experiment with. If you want to learn more about generative AI, or try it yourself, here are some resources that I recommend:
- [This website](https://www.thispersondoesnotexist.com/) lets you see faces of people that don't exist, generated by a GAN.
- [This website](https://www.thisartworkdoesnotexist.com/) lets you see artworks in different styles that don't exist, generated by a GAN.
- [This website](https://talktotransformer.com/) lets you see text in different domains that don't exist, generated by a GPT-2 model.
- [This website](https://openai.com/blog/dall-e/) lets you see images based on text descriptions that don't exist, generated by a DALL-E model.
