The current state of generative AI
As discussed in this book, in recent years, generative AI models have attained new milestones in producing human-like content across modalities including text, images, audio, and video. Leading models like OpenAI’s GPT-4 and DALL-E 2, and Anthropic’s Claude display impressive fluency in content generation, be it textual or creative visual artistry.
Between 2022 and 2023, AI models have made significant progress, producing high-quality 3D images, videos, and coherent text rivaling human fluency. Leveraging large datasets and computational power, these models can understand language, translate, summarize, create art, and describe images. They mimic human creativity by generating original art, poetry, and human-level prose, and synthesizing information from diverse sources. However, these models also have weaknesses. They often produce plausible but incorrect statements and struggle with mathematical, logical, or causal reasoning....
