ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Generative AI tools like ChatGPT reached mass adoption in record time, and reset the course of an entire industry<\/strong>. By Will Douglas Heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When OpenAI launched a free web app called\u00a0ChatGPT<\/a>\u00a0in November 2022,\u00a0nobody knew what was coming<\/a>. But that low-key release changed everything. By January, ChatGPT had become the fastest-growing web app ever, offering anyone with a browser access to one of the most powerful neural networks ever built. We were dazzled and disturbed. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n And that was only the start. In February, Microsoft and Google revealed rival plans to\u00a0combine chatbots with search<\/a>\u2014plans that reimagined our daily interactions with the internet. Early demos weren\u2019t great. Microsoft\u2019s Bing Chat went off the rails, quick to churn out nonsense. Google\u2019s Bard was caught making a factual error in its promo pitch. But the genie wasn\u2019t going back in its bottle, no matter how weird it was.\u00a0<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n These six questions will dictate the future of generative AI<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Generative AI took the world by storm in 2023. Its future\u2014and ours\u2014will be shaped by what we do next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Microsoft and Google have since moved beyond search to put chatbot-based assistants into the hands of billions of people via their office software. The tech promises to summarize emails and meetings; draft reports and replies; generate whole slide decks\u2014titles, bullet points, and pictures\u2014in seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Microsoft and Meta released image-making models that let users generate shareable images of anything with a click. Cue a nonstop stream of zany mash-ups\u2014and dozens of posts about Mickey Mouse and SpongeBob SquarePants flying a plane into the Twin Towers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Google\u2019s new phones now use AI to let you edit photos to a degree never seen before, exchanging sad faces for happy ones and overcast afternoons for perfect sunsets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Never has such radical new technology gone from experimental prototype to consumer product so fast and at such scale. What\u2019s clear is that we haven\u2019t even begun to make sense of it all, let alone reckon with its impact<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is the shine coming off? Maybe. With\u00a0each release<\/a>, the astonishing becomes more mundane. But 2023\u2019s legacy is clear: billions have now looked AI in the face. Now we need to figure out exactly what\u2019s looking back. This is fascinating – a good read.
