/Machine learning/

A branch of artificial intelligence (AI) and computer science which focuses on the use of data and algorithms to imitate the way that humans learn, gradually improving its accuracy.

Generative AI is the latest and greatest in artificial intelligence technology, using fancy algorithms to generate all sorts of wacky and wild content. Imagine being able to create your own personal memes or design the outfit of your dreams without ever having to leave your couch!

This technology is set to be a game-changer for lazy people everywhere. So why not give it a try and let generative AI do all the hard work for you?

A robot wrote that copy.

It’s related to the robot that made all the images, and a distant cousin of the one that is making all your friends look hot on instagram.

As you can tell by the extreme drop in quality, we’re not sweating about AI taking our jobs. But the developer community is sweating, because language models like ChatGPT are really good at guessing the logical next word or phrase. And that, at a really basic level, is like 70 percent of what coding is.

These engines are built to scrape and learn from massive amounts of data on the internet and are learning faster than kids picking up naughty words watching a Kevin Hart show. The more we use it, the better it gets. It is a net good for society, though, and not just because it makes you look hot on your socials.

The lessons we’re learning now will help us automate all kinds of processes in the future. Our lives, as ChatGPT said, will become more efficient and we will be able to unlock better solutions for our current problems.

Long live the machines.
