Get ready for the ride - 2023 with Generative AI

• Have you ever wondered if one of your vivid dreams could be archived or shared visually by means of an image ?
• Won't you like a few of your repeated tasks get assisted by a smart tool which will increase your productivity at work ?
• How great would it be if the 'hidden artist' in you could be provided with some visual vocabulary?

Perhaps, Generative AI and its tools has some solutions for you! As 2023 ushers the AI spring, let us see how best could we utilize AI especially generative AI to assist us being more productive ? ?I consider that there are few repeated tasks in our day to day personal and professional lives which can be AI assisted, making us more creative, effective, and efficient.

What is Generative AI ? Generative AI refers to the use of artificial intelligence to create new and original content, rather than just analyzing existing data. This type of AI is beginning to show promise in fields such as poetry, design, and code development, and has the potential to revolutionize the way humans create and generate ideas. Even though, Analytical/ Predictive AI, or traditional AI, is very helpful and is used for tasks such as fraud detection and predicting user behavior, but generative AI using Large Language Models has the potential to expand the capabilities of machines beyond analysis and into the realm of creation. 2023 with advent of various Generative AI tools, is here to make you more creative and proficient! Cutting through the hype, I have listed a few tools which you would like to try out!

"From helping write code to conjuring images seemingly out of the air, this new form of computing will change the nature of creativity and productivity."

- Kevin Scott,

Chief Technology Officer, Microsoft on Generative AI in 2023

Is Generative AI overhyped or underhyped ? Sequoia Capital believes that 2023 will bring power of Large Language Models of Generative AI to the fore. Sonya Huang, Pat Grady from Sequoia, and GPT-3 a few months ago reported “Just as mobile unleashed new types of applications through new capabilities like GPS, cameras, and on-the-go connectivity, we expect these large models to motivate a new wave of generative AI applications. And just as the inflection point of mobile created a market opening for a handful of killer apps a decade ago, we expect killer apps to emerge for Generative AI. The race is on.” (https://www.sequoiacap.com/article/generative-ai-a-creative-new-world/)

AI Ethics and Trust - it is a work in progress About deploying AI based tools, there are certain points to be kept in mind: -

·????????AI based tools are there to assist us with our tasks, not to replace the jobs.

·????????AI based tools would have flaws, they must be used as triggers/ initial references to aid human creativity and effort. Finally, we as users need to build on them. It is a good steppingstone to get over the ‘creator’s block’.

·????????As these tools evolve, with good user feedback and more data, with time, they will improve and should commence to address issues of Intellectual Property rights, ethics and trust more vividly.

·????????The human-machine collaboration will assist human users to improve their efficiency and creativity. The constant feedback will help developers and the machines to improve the models by an iterative process of back-and-forth tweak and refine. Remember the in
