When ChatGPT came out, it revolutionized the way we interact with AI-based systems to seek the answers we need. ChatGPT opened the doors for generative AI (GenAI), a category of artificial intelligence (AI) that utilizes machine learning models to autonomously create new content, such as text, images, or other forms of data, based on patterns and information learned from existing datasets.
GenAI has disrupted multiple industries by transforming how they solve use cases. One of the areas that GenAI has revolutionized is the software development process. Instead of writing all the code by hand, GenAI can auto-generate a significant portion of the code, drastically...
