The current development of machine learning and its corresponding tech has intensified thanks to the huge investments by big tech companies in powering infrastructures needed to allow AI to flourish. We are now heading towards an exciting period of Generative artificial intelligence (AI). As the name suggests, Generative AI relies on algorithms in the automation of content creation. Anyone can use various Generative AI tools to create “unique” texts, images, simulations, audios, videos and even codes!

It is worthy to note that Generative AI has progressed for more than a decade and it’s not really a “recent” thing. It’s because of the abundance of friendlier tools (and Web3 ecosystem) that makes it popular now.
