OpenAI's release of ChatGPT unleashed the generative AI revolution. Within a few months, the platform attracted more than 100 million users. This was the fastest ever for an online application. While traditional AI focuses on predictions and insights, generative AI is about creativity. ChatGPT has already shown how this technology can seem almost human, even magical. But this is just the start. Generative AI will have a seismic impact across every industry. It will help to discover breakthrough drugs. It will create hit songs and movies. There seems to be no limits. In this book, Tom Taulli will show how generative AI works. This will include easy-to-understand explanations of critical innovations like transformers, diffusion models and generative adversarial networks. He will also highlight the incredible entrepreneurial stories of how companies like Jasper, StabilityAI and Hugging Face have leveraged this technology to grow at staggering rates. The book includes strategies for using generative AI. Taulli shows how to evaluate the tools as well as how to successfully implement them. Finally, he will explore the future of the technology, such as what it might mean for employment and the impact on economic growth.

If you are interested in (AI) but lack a technical background,This is a good starting. In this book, although artificial intelligence has show an important role in business, work efficiency and innovation, it also discusses some potential negative effects such as jobs, technology abuse, dangerous weapons and the impact of gender difference on data. so let us think about whether artificial intelligence is a driving force for human development or a threat? The author Taulli shows us a comprehensive perspective. such as the definition of AI,fundamentals,core generative AI, affect on major industries and the future, so that we can understand the potential and challenges of generative Al, and let us think about how to find a balance in the future technology. This book is an introductory book on generative artificial intelligence. The author uses simple and clear language to explain the basic concepts, technical principles and impact of generative AI on various industries. First Generative AI was defined, and the historical,origins and the term “artifical intelligence” coined by its founder John McCarthy. Then Taulli explained how Generative AI works through technical principles, such as diffusion models and demonstrated the application of generative AI tools such as ChatGPT in practice. Many examples shows that AI has a wide range of application in law, marketing, and code generation and create value in various of industry, which make more people benefit. On the other hand, the book also mentions that generating AI may lead to privacy leaks, data abuse, job losses, and the spread of false information, powerful autonomous weapons.AI may also exacerbate social inequality because large technology companies have more resources to develop AI. Therefore, this book is worth reading, it is very useful for beginners who want to know about AI.
This book is mostly about different startups in generative Ai area. If you remove “they raised X amount of money in series Y led by Z”,it will shorten the book by 10 pages or so. Most of startup ideas are described on a very high level, no distinction between hype and reality.
a book about different startups in generative AI, rather boring, and of course, these kind of books are outdated the moment they are published on paper.
