Silicon Valley is abuzz over a new kind of artificial intelligence - generative Al.
It's a somewhat new field that exploded in popularity and attention in recent weeks, thanks to a steady stream of novel - and sometimes very weird - pieces of digital art hitting social media. The art was made by generative Al software, using simple text prompts from humans.
These kinds of tools not only produce unique pieces of art, they can also generate audio, text and video based on user prompts. While their results are less than perfect, the Al tools can turn what were once hours-long projects into minutes-long tasks.
Proponents of generative Al software say the tools could one day replace the armies of visual effects artists who work on major blockbuster films. In a shorter time frame, they could help white-collar workers whip up slideshow presentations, design corporate logos and even craft written content such as blog posts or social media posts.
