Summary
In this chapter, we explored the exciting world of generative AI and its various domains of application, including image generation, text generation, music generation, and video generation. We learned how generative AI models such as ChatGPT and DALL-E, trained by OpenAI, use DL techniques to learn patterns in large datasets and generate new content that is both novel and coherent. We also discussed the history of generative AI, its origins, and the current status of research on it.
The goal of this chapter was to provide a solid foundation in the basics of generative AI and to inspire you to explore this fascinating field further.
In the next chapter, we will focus on one of the most promising technologies available on the market today, ChatGPT: we will go through the research behind it and its development by OpenAI, the architecture of its model, and the main use cases it can address as of today.
