Also: ChatGPT just became the fastest-growing ‘app’ of all time ChatGPT has become extremely popular, accumulating more than one million users a week after launching. Seeing this success, many other companies have decided to compete in the generative AI space, including Google, Microsoft’s Bing, and Opera. The buzz around generative AI is sure to keep on growing as more companies race to join in and find new use cases. Also: What is machine learning?

However, there are plenty of other AI generators on the market that are just as capable and suit different needs. Google has an unreleased AI art generator called Imagen that is still in the research stage. Also: I tested out an AI art generator and here’s what I learned Although it’s not the same image, the new image has elements of an artist’s original work, which is not credited to them. A specific style that is unique to the artist can, therefore, end up being replicated by AI and used for a new image, without the original artist knowing or approving. The debate about whether AI-generated art is really ’new’ or even ‘art’ is likely to continue for many years. These models don’t necessarily know whether the things they produce are accurate, and we have little way of knowing where the information has come from and how it has been processed by the algorithms to generate content. There are plenty of examples of chatbots, for example, providing incorrect information or simply making things up to fill the gaps. While the results from generative AI can be intriguing and entertaining, it would be unwise, certainly in the short term, to rely on the information or content they create.
