Summary
Generative AI is a subfield of artificial intelligence capable of creating new content such as text, images, videos, audio, and software code, distinguishing itself from traditional content creation methods. It leverages deep learning techniques, including Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and text-to-image models, to synthesize content from textual descriptions or existing datasets. While its origins trace back to chatbots in the 1960s, it achieved the ability to create convincingly authentic images and videos with GANs by 2014. This technology is now a disruptive force across numerous industries, including healthcare, finance, entertainment, and software development. Its high infrastructure costs are contributing to market instability, including a potential "AI Correction" and a slowdown in the SaaS industry, benefiting companies like Nvidia while straining others like Dell, and raising concerns about a market bubble.

View on WikipediaGenerative AI pornography
Generative AI pornography or simply AI pornography is a digitally created pornography produced through generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Unlike traditional pornography, which involves real actors and cameras, this content is synthesized entirely by AI algorithms. These algorithms, including Generative adversarial network (GANs) and text-to-image models, generate lifelike images, videos, or animations from textual descriptions or datasets.

Generative AI is artificial intelligence designed to create unique text or image results in response to user prompts. The technology uses machine learning to return an output based on the user’s prompt. AI engineers train the technology using large data sets, which the model consults when determining the best possible answer to a prompt. Another way to look at generative AI is as a form of predictive artificial intelligence. Based on the information provided, generative AI will predict which [...] Translate programming languages:Generative AI can be a tool for developers to interact with software without needing a programming language. The generative AI would act as a translator. [...] For a software development team, generative AI can provide tools to create and optimize code faster and with less experience using programming languages. A few examples of the applications of generative AI in software development include:

In this section, we’ll detail what generative AI is, explore how it works, discuss its benefits, outline its challenges and limitations, and point out uses of it in various fields, including education. ### What is Generative AI? Generative AI is a type of AI that uses deep learning techniques to create new content, such as images, music, animation, 3D models, and text. [...] Generative AI—a type of AI that can create new content and ideas based on prompts, using machine learning models to learn patterns from large amounts of data—was introduced in the 1960s in chatbots. But it wasn’t until 2014 that generative AI, using generative adversarial networks, or GANS, could create convincingly authentic images, videos, and audio of real people. [...] In healthcare, generative AI is used to create synthetic medical data for research, generate patient-specific treatment plans, and assist in medical image analysis. In entertainment, the technology allows for the creation of video game content, scripts for movies and TV shows, and the generation of music and soundtracks. In marketing, generative AI creates targeted marketing campaigns, generates product descriptions, and personalized advertisements.
