Generative AI models for businesses threaten to upend the world of content creation, with substantial impacts on marketing, software, design, entertainment, and interpersonal communications. These models can produce text and images: blog posts, program code, poetry, and artwork. The software uses complex machine learning models to predict the next word based on previous word sequences, or the next image based on words describing previous images. Companies need to understand how these tools work, and how they can add value.

Large language and image AI models, sometimes called generative AI or foundation models, have created a new set of opportunities for businesses and professionals that perform content creation. Some of these opportunities include:

1. Automated content generation: Large language and image AI models can be used to automatically generate content, such as articles, blog posts, or social media posts. This can be a valuable time-saving tool for businesses and professionals who create content regularly.

2. Improved content quality: AI-generated content can be of higher quality than content created by humans because AI models can learn from a large amount of data and identify patterns that humans may not be able to see. This can result in more accurate and informative content.

3. Increased content variety: AI models can generate various content types, including text, images, and video. This can help businesses and professionals to create more diverse and interesting content that appeals to a wider range of people.

4. Personalized content: AI models can generate personalized content based on the preferences of individual users. This can help businesses and professionals to create content that is more likely to be of interest to their target audience, and therefore more likely to be read or shared.

What are Dall-E, ChatGPT and Bard?

ChatGPT, Dall-E, and Bard are popular generative AI interfaces.

Dall-E. Trained on a large data set of images and their associated text descriptions, Dall-E is an example of a multimodal AI application that identifies connections across multiple media, such as vision, text, and audio. In this case, it connects the meaning of words to visual elements. It was built using OpenAI's GPT implementation in 2021. Dall-E 2, a second, more capable version, was released in 2022. It enables users to generate imagery in multiple styles driven by user prompts.

ChatGPT. The AI-powered chatbot that took the world by storm in November 2022 was built on OpenAI's GPT-3.5 implementation. OpenAI has provided a way to interact and fine-tune text responses via a chat interface with interactive feedback. Earlier versions of GPT were only accessible via an API. GPT-4 was released on March 14, 2023. ChatGPT incorporates the history of its conversation with a user into its results, simulating a real conversation. After the incredible popularity of the new GPT interface, Microsoft announced a significant new investment into OpenAI and integrated a version of GPT into its Bing search engine.

Bard. Google was another early leader in pioneering transformer AI techniques for processing language, proteins, and other types of content. It open-sourced some of these models for researchers. However, it never released a public interface for these models. Microsoft's decision to implement GPT into Bing drove Google to rush to market a public-facing chatbot, Google Bard, built on a lightweight version of its LaMDA family of large language models. Google suffered a significant loss in stock price following Bard's rushed debut after the language model incorrectly said the Webb telescope was the first to discover a planet in a foreign solar system. Meanwhile, Microsoft and ChatGPT implementations also lost face in their early outings due to inaccurate results and erratic behavior. Google has since unveiled a new version of Bard built on its most advanced LLM, PaLM 2, which allows Bard to be more efficient and visual in its response to user queries.

What are the use cases for generative AI?

Generative AI can be applied in various use cases to generate virtually any kind of content. The technology is becoming more accessible to users of all kinds thanks to cutting-edge breakthroughs like GPT that can be tuned for different applications. Some of the use cases for generative AI include the following:

• Implementing chatbots for customer service and technical support.
• Deploying deepfakes for mimicking people or even specific individuals.
• Improving dubbing for movies and educational content in different languages.
• Writing email responses, dating profiles, resumes, and term papers.
• Creating photorealistic art in a particular style.
• Improving product demonstration videos.
• Suggesting new drug compounds to test.
• Designing physical products and buildings.
• Optimizing new chip designs.
• Writing music in a specific style or tone.

What are the benefits of generative AI?

Generative AI can be applied extensively across many areas of the business. It can make it easier to interpret and understand existing content and automatically create new content. Developers are exploring ways that generative AI can improve existing workflows, with an eye to adapting workflows entirely to take advantage of the technology. Some of the potential benefits of implementing generative AI include the following:

• Automating the manual process of writing content.
• Reducing the effort of responding to emails.
• Improving the response to specific technical queries.
• Creating realistic representations of people.
• Summarizing complex information into a coherent narrative.
• Simplifying the process of creating content in a particular style.
