STORIES
Threads is a text-based conversation app, often seen as an alternative to Twitter. Users can share real-time text updates, like, reply, and send direct messages. It is connected to Instagram, allowing easy tracking of accounts.
Generative AI is often misunderstood as a magical force capable of creating sentient beings and groundbreaking discoveries with minimal human intervention. These misconceptions are fueled by speculation and misinformation, leading to unrealistic expectations of its true capabilities.
Girish Mathrubootham, the CEO of Freshworks, highlights the remarkable acceleration in programming tasks achieved through ChatGPT. What previously demanded a lengthy 9-week period for completion by his employees now takes only a few days. By harnessing the power of generative AI, coding workflows in the company are being expedited by a staggering factor of approximately 20. This substantial reduction in turnaround time promises a significant boost in productivity, enabling companies to accomplish more in less time. Let’s dive into the article to see if ChatGPT or similar tools will replace the need for data scientists.
Generative AI offers a significant advantage to the creative industry by enabling scalable content generation. It can quickly generate various options for text and visuals, which are valuable for advertising, marketing, and film.
In the past, advertisers would create numerous ad variations specific to different media platforms. However, with generative AI, the future holds the ability to generate billions of unique ads instead of retrieving pre-existing options. The crucial aspect is that each generated ad must maintain the appropriate tone and align perfectly with the brand's image.
One of the key factors that can significantly influence the future of generative AI is how society reacts to its widespread adoption. Studies indicate that generative AI has the potential to enhance worker productivity in certain roles. For instance, a recent study discovered that the introduction of a generative AI-powered conversational assistant boosted customer service personnel's productivity by 14 percent. However, concerns about the significant risks associated with generative AI are mounting, leading to calls for serious consideration. Additionally, the acknowledgment of the massive computing power and environmental impact required for generative AI may restrict its development and usage.
RESOURCES

Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative AI intersect and they are both part of deep learning. Watch this video to learn about LLMs, including use cases, Prompt Tuning, and GenAI development tools.
ENTERPRISE | B2B
A16Z, a Silicon Valley venture capital firm, believes that the future of AI in the workplace lies in focused models tailored to specific business needs, rather than LLMs like ChatGPT. They call it SynthAI, where models are trained on proprietary data sets and optimized for tasks like customer support, market research summaries, and personalized marketing emails.
