As recently reported, a program called ChatGPT can make writing essays or application letters easy: Just feed in some basic info and its artificial intelligence does the rest. However, one expert says the same AI technology will someday soon be generating most of what you read online.
Nina Schick tells Yahoo! Finance, “I think we might reach 90% of online content generated by AI by 2025, so this technology is exponential. I believe that the majority of digital content is going to start to be produced by AI. You see ChatGPT … but there are a whole plethora of other platforms and applications that are coming up.”
Similar “generative AI” tech is being developed by massive companies like Google; it’s believed the company’s looking to reform the usual search engine interface with which we’re familiar.
But with the same innovation, Shick says, a company could plug in some details about, say, a music act or a new model of car, and the robot mind would do the rest, generating an article about the subject without the need to hire a writer, or create social media posts without any human input.
“What generative AI can do, essentially, is create new things that would have thus far been seen as unique to human intelligence or creativity,” Shick said. “Generative AI can create across all media, so text, video, audio, pictures – every digital medium can be powered by generative AI.”
