In case you haven't noticed, generative AI is having a bit of a moment right now.
Thanks largely to ChatGPT, it seems to have gone from a relatively niche area of interest to the popular mainstream in the space of just a few months. Its various implementations look set to dominate the tech headlines in 2023 and are fast becoming the flavour of the moment among venture capitalists.
We've seen tech goldrushes like this before: VR/AR, Web3, the Metaverse with a capital 'M'. Some of them end up needing a slower burn to get going, and others never really catch on (remember 3DTVs?). But what seems to set generative AI apart, and makes it feel more exciting, is its immediate and demonstrable use cases; not just in games but in a wide range of industries. It's a technology which doesn't suffer from being a solution which is looking for a problem to fix.
