Individuals and businesses may use a variety of AI content generators for a different purpose.
When ChatGPT, a powerful AI chatroom, was released in November 2022, it gained a lot of attention. The GPT-3 language model (now updating to GPT-4 then GPT-5), the underlying technology, has been around for a while. However, ChatGPT made the technology accessible to non-technical people and highlighted all the different ways AI may be used to producing content.
This has raised questions about how technological advancements may affect the nature of work. Because they are concerned about plagiarism and cheating, several schools have banned technology. Legal experts disagree on whether it violates copyright laws and other regulations governing the authenticity of digital content.
AI technology is discussed with a mixture of wonder, fear, and skepticism. However, generative AI will change the way content is made, despite the objections. There was already an open letter signed by many AI and technologies experts that request to pause giant AI experiments such as future ChatGPT 5 (GPT-5 language model)
What really is "AI-generated content"?
The term "AI-generated content" (also known as "Generative AI") refers to algorithms that can produce new content on demand in any digital format. A lot of data is used to train algorithms. Then, based on the data and a small amount of user input, outputs are produced. The fact that the information is new and generated automatically is key.
ChatGPT is the most popular illustration of a generative AI algorithm. Based on the GPT-3 and GPT-4 language model, ChatGPT offers natural language processing.GPT-3/4 is trained on a large amount of human text from the internet and teaches the language model how to respond when interacting with users.
Other generative AI programs work in a similar way. They are trained to develop a body of knowledge and use that knowledge to create novel outputs.
Many commercial generative AI offerings are currently based on OpenAI's generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT and Codex.
What are the different types of AI-generated content?
AI-generated content is not just limited to mimicking human writers. AI-generated content also exists in other media, such as:
- Image
- Speech
- Video
- Music
- Code
Despite the many types of content generative AI can create, the algorithms used to create it are often large language models such as GPT-3/4/5 and Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers -- also known as BERT.
