Let’s play a game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 2 short paragraphs of sentences that follow. ChatGPT wrote one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other one was written by yours truly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you tell which one is which? The subject is \u201c Funny way of explaining the layoffs in the US tech industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paragraph 1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Imagine a world where you get up in the morning, log into work, and are just vibing to the new OneRepublic song, like you do on Mondays, when you get an email from your manager. \u201cCan you please come into Conference Room 101, John? And get your laptop too.\u201d You walk into the room, and suddenly there are 3 guys sitting in the room, and your manager is speaking rather somberly, that the company no longer requires your services. You hear vague terms like \u201crestructuring\u201d and \u201crecession\u201d and \u201cnew Economic Reality,\u201d but in your head, instead of OneRepublic, it's Gotye singing \u201cYou didn\u2019t have to cut me off..\u201d  You don\u2019t have to imagine all this, because this was the sad reality for more than 66,000 tech workers in the US alone, according to a report by Crunchbase. Welcome to the world of tech layoffs. If you are working in the tech industry, you better strap in, because some turbulent times lie up ahead.<\/em><\/pre>\n\n\n

Paragraph 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Well, you know how it is in the tech industry... One minute you're the hottest app in town, the next you're yesterday's news. Sometimes companies restructure, or get acquired by a bigger fish and suddenly there's too many cooks in the kitchen. And don't even get us started on the robots. They're taking over, and we're not just talking about customer service. It's like the Terminator, but instead of Judgment Day, it's Layoff Day. So if you hear the rumor mill buzzing about cuts, better start polishing your resume, because it's a wild ride in the tech world!<\/em><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
If your guess was that Paragraph 1 is written by me, you are right. But how difficult was that guess? Considering the fact that paragraph 2 was also funny, it did explain the layoffs, and it also ended similar to paragraph 1?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, can you ponder for a moment how scary that is? Artificial intelligence trying to make jokes? It is like that F.R.I.E.N.D.S Episode, where Monica tells Chandler Bing that she met someone funnier at her workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Except that funnier someone was a machine. A computer. A form of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generative AI, ladies and gentlemen, is the buzzword these days, and in this post, we are going to cover some of the basics of it such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. What is Generative AI?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The technology behind Generative AI – How Generative AI Works<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Applications of Generative AI<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Will Generative AI make us Knowledge Workers obsolete?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Future of Generative AI<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    What is Generative AI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    This is a tough question to answer, since the term has been a buzzword for a few months now after the launch of ChatGPT. Before that, we were already familiar with its infamous cousin, Artificial Intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    When you use Artificial Intelligence to create new text, video, audio, ai images or any form of data, you can classify this under Generative AI. This is an umbrella term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Any time Artificial Intelligence is used to create something on its own, we call it Generative AI. For instance, there are websites like Midjourney<\/a> that use prompts from users to generate entirely new images. Like this one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    A user on the Midjourney platform who goes by the name Beard, who was asking for a \u201cDire Wolf strapped with a battery pack with a lighting in the background.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    And the AI did the rest. Impressive, isn’t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    ChatGPT, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, DALL-E, these are just a handful of Generative AI tools<\/a> that are out in the market today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    We have already seen how powerful ChatGPT can be. So now, what powers these Generative AI tools? Let\u2019s take a look under the hood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    How does Generative AI Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    In 2021, when the world was still recovering from the pandemic, there came out a movie starring Tom Hanks called Finch<\/a>. The movie featured Tom Hanks as a robotics engineer who builds a robot to take care of his dog after his death, since most of humanity has been wiped out due to an apocalyptic solar flare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    While the movie didn\u2019t make that big a wave at the box office, why we are mentioning it here is the fact that in a scene in the movie, the robot starts to paint by itself, out of dreams that it had!!<\/p>\n\n\n
    \n
    \"done<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
    An artificial intelligence robot that paints by itself.. Hmm.. Science fiction? Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Already a reality? Well, we are almost there, like we showed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    There are companies out there like Boston Dynamics<\/a> and Tesla doing incredible things with robots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
