Generative AI is here. Let\u2019s hope we\u2019re ready.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/p>\n
\n

The world\u2019s first generative AI-powered search engine is here, and it\u2019s in love with you<\/a>. Or it thinks<\/a> you\u2019re kind of like Hitler. Or it\u2019s gaslighting you<\/a> into thinking it\u2019s still 2022, a more innocent time when generative AI seemed more like a cool party trick than a powerful technology about to be unleashed on a world that might not be ready for it.<\/p>\n

If you feel like you\u2019ve been hearing a lot about generative AI, you\u2019re not wrong. After a generative AI tool called ChatGPT went viral a few months ago, it seems everyone in Silicon Valley is trying to find a use for this new technology. Generative AI is essentially a more advanced and useful version of the conventional artificial intelligence that already helps power everything from autocomplete to Siri. The big difference is that generative AI can create new content, such as images, text, audio, video, and even code \u2014 usually from a prompt or command. It can write news articles<\/a>, movie scripts<\/a>, and poetry<\/a>. It can make images out of some really specific<\/a> parameters. And if you listen to some experts and developers, generative AI will eventually be able to make almost anything, including entire apps, from scratch. For now, the killer app for generative AI appears to be search.<\/p>\n

One of the first major generative AI products for the consumer market is Microsoft\u2019s new AI-infused Bing, which debuted in January<\/a> to great fanfare. The new Bing uses generative AI in its web search function to return results that appear as longer, written answers culled from various internet sources instead of a list of links to relevant websites. There\u2019s also a new accompanying chat feature that lets users have human-seeming conversations with an AI chatbot. Google, the undisputed king of search for decades now, is planning to release its own version<\/a> of AI-powered search as well as a chatbot called Bard in the coming weeks, the company said just days after Microsoft announced the new Bing. <\/p>\n

In other words, the AI wars have begun. And the battles may not just be over search engines. Generative AI is already starting to find its way<\/a> into mainstream applications for everything from food shopping to social media. <\/p>\n

Microsoft and Google are the biggest companies with public-facing generative AI products, but they aren\u2019t the only ones working on it. Apple, Meta, and Amazon have their own AI initiatives, and there are plenty of startups and smaller companies developing generative AI or working it into their existing products. TikTok has a generative AI text-to-image system<\/a>. Design platform Canva has one<\/a>, too. An app called Lensa<\/a> creates stylized selfies and portraits (sometimes with ample bosoms<\/a>). And the open-source model Stable Diffusion<\/a> can generate detailed and specific images in all kinds of styles from text prompts. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s a good chance we\u2019re about to see a lot more generative AI showing up in a lot more applications, too. OpenAI, the AI developer that built the ChatGPT language model, recently announced<\/a> the release of APIs, or application programming interfaces, for its ChatGPT and Whisper, a speech recognition model. Companies like Instacart and Shopify are already implementing this tech into their products, using generative AI to write shopping lists and offer recommendations. There\u2019s no telling how many more apps might come up with novel ways to take advantage of what generative AI can do.<\/p>\n

Generative AI has the potential to be a revolutionary technology, and it\u2019s certainly being hyped as such. Venture capitalists, who are always looking for the next big tech thing, believe that generative AI can replace or automate a lot of creative processes, freeing up humans to do more complex tasks and making people more productive overall. But it\u2019s not just creative work that generative AI can produce. It can help developers<\/a> make software. It could improve education<\/a>. It may be able to discover new drugs<\/a> or become your therapist<\/a>. It just might make our lives easier and better.<\/p>\n

Or it could make things a lot worse. There are reasons to be concerned about the damage generative AI can do if it\u2019s released to a society that isn\u2019t ready for it \u2014 or if we ask the AI program to do something it isn\u2019t ready for. How ethical or responsible generative AI technologies are is largely in the hands of the companies developing them, as there are few if any<\/a> regulations or laws in place governing AI. This powerful technology could put millions of people out of work if it\u2019s able to automate entire industries. It could spawn a destructive new era of misinformation<\/a>. There are also concerns of bias due to a lack of diversity in the material and data<\/a> that generative AI is trained on, or the people who are overseeing that training.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, powerful generative AI tools are making their way to the masses. If 2022 was the \u201cyear of generative AI<\/a>,\u201d 2023 may be the year that generative AI is actually put to use, ready or not.<\/p>\n

The slow, then sudden, rise of generative AI<\/h3>\n

Conventional artificial intelligence is already integrated into a ton of products we use all the time, like autocomplete<\/a>, voice assistants like Amazon\u2019s Alexa<\/a>, and even the recommendations for music<\/a> or movies<\/a> we might enjoy on streaming services. But generative AI is more sophisticated<\/a>. It uses deep learning, or algorithms that create artificial neural networks that are meant to mimic how human brains process information and learn. And then those models are fed enormous amounts of data to train on. For example, large language models<\/a> power things like ChatGPT, which train on text collected from around the internet until they learn to generate and mimic those kinds of texts and conversations upon request. Image models have been fed tons of images and captions that describe them in order to learn how to create new content based on prompts.<\/p>\n

After years of development, most of it outside of public view, generative AI hit the mainstream<\/a> in 2022 with the widespread releases of art and text models. Models like Stable Diffusion and DALL-E, which was released by OpenAI, were first to go viral, and they let anyone create new images from text prompts. Then came OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT<\/a> (GPT stands for \u201cgenerative pre-trained transformer\u201d) which got everyone\u2019s attention. This tool could create large, entirely new chunks of text from simple prompts. For the most part, ChatGPT worked really well<\/a>, too \u2014 better than anything the world had seen before.<\/p>\n

Though it\u2019s one of many AI startups<\/a> out there, OpenAI seems to have the most advanced or powerful products right now. Or at least, it\u2019s the startup that has given the general public access to its services, thereby providing the most evidence of its progress in the generative AI field. This is a demonstration of its abilities as well as a source of even more data for OpenAI\u2019s models to learn from. <\/p>\n

OpenAI is also backed by some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley. It was founded in 2015<\/a> as a nonprofit research lab with $1 billion in support from the likes of Elon Musk, Reid Hoffman, Peter Thiel, Amazon, and former Y Combinator president Sam Altman, who is now the company\u2019s CEO. OpenAI has since changed its structure to become a for-profit company<\/a> but has yet to make a profit or even much by way of revenue. That\u2019s not a problem yet, as OpenAI has gotten a considerable amount of funding from Microsoft, which began investing in OpenAI in 2019. And OpenAI is seizing on the wave of excitement for ChatGPT to promote its API services, which are not free<\/a>. Neither is the company\u2019s upcoming ChatGPT Plus service<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Other big tech companies have for years been working on their own generative AI initiatives. There\u2019s Apple\u2019s Gaudi<\/a>, Meta\u2019s LLaMA<\/a> and Make-a-Scene<\/a>, Amazon\u2019s collaboration with Hugging Face<\/a>, and Google\u2019s LaMDA<\/a> (which is good enough that one Google engineer thought<\/a> it was sentient). But thanks to its early investment in OpenAI, Microsoft had access to the AI project everyone knew about and was trying out.<\/p>\n

In January 2023, Microsoft announced<\/a> it was giving $10 billion to OpenAI, bringing its total investment in the company to $13 billion. From that partnership, Microsoft has gotten what it hopes will be a real challenge to Google\u2019s longtime dominance in web search: a new Bing powered by generative AI.<\/p>\n

AI search will give us the first glimpse of how generative AI can be used in our everyday lives … if it works<\/h3>\n

Tech companies and investors are willing to pour resources into generative AI because they hope that, eventually, it will be able to create or generate just about any kind of content humans ask for. Some of those aspirations may be a long way from becoming reality, but right now, it\u2019s possible that generative AI will power the next evolution of the humble internet search. <\/p>\n

After months of rumors that both Microsoft and Google were working on generative AI versions of their web search engines, Microsoft debuted<\/a> its AI-integrated Bing in January in a splashy media event that showed off all the cool things it could do, thanks to OpenAI\u2019s custom-built technology that powered it. Instead of entering a prompt for Bing to look up and return a list of relevant links, you could ask Bing a question and get a \u201ccomplete answer\u201d composed by Bing\u2019s generative AI and culled from various sources on the web that you didn\u2019t have to take the time to visit yourself. You could also use Bing\u2019s chatbot to ask follow-up questions to better refine your search results. <\/p>\n

Microsoft wants you to think the possibilities of these new tools are just about endless. And notably, Bing AI appeared to be ready for the general public when the company announced it last month. It\u2019s now being rolled out to people on an ever-growing wait list and incorporated into other Microsoft products, like its Windows 11 operating system<\/a> and Skype<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This poses a major threat to Google, which has had the search market sewn up<\/a> for decades and makes most of its revenue from the ads placed alongside its search results. The new Bing could chip away at Google\u2019s search dominance and its main moneymaker. And while Google has been working on its own generative AI models for years, its AI-powered search engine and corresponding chatbot, which it calls Bard<\/a>, appear to be months away<\/a> from debut. All of this suggests that, so far, Microsoft is winning the AI-powered search engine battle.<\/p>\n

Or is it?<\/p>\n

Once the new Bing made it to the masses, it quickly became apparent that the technology might not be ready for primetime after all. Right out of the gate, Bing made basic factual errors<\/a> or made up stuff entirely<\/a>, also known as \u201challucinating<\/a>.\u201d What was perhaps more problematic, however, was that its chatbot was also saying some disturbing and weird things. One person asked<\/a> Bing for movie showtimes, only to be told the movie hadn\u2019t come out yet (it had) because the date was February 2022 (it wasn\u2019t). The user insisted that it was, at that time, February 2023. Bing AI responded by telling the user they were being rude, had \u201cbad intentions,\u201d and had lost Bing\u2019s \u201ctrust and respect.\u201d A New York Times reporter pronounced<\/a> Bing \u201cnot ready for human contact\u201d after its chatbot \u2014 with a considerable amount of prodding from the reporter \u2014 began expressing its \u201cdesires,\u201d one of which was the reporter himself. Bing also told an AP reporter<\/a> that he was acting like Hitler.<\/p>\n

In response to the bad press, Microsoft has tried to put some limits and guardrails<\/a> on Bing, like limiting the number of interactions one person can have with its chatbot. But the question remains: How thoroughly could Microsoft have tested Bing\u2019s chatbot before releasing it if it took only a matter of days for users to get it to give such wild responses?<\/p>\n

Google, on the other hand, may have been watching this all unfold with a certain sense of glee. Its limited Bard rollout hasn\u2019t exactly gone perfectly<\/a>, but Bard hasn\u2019t compared any of its users to one of the most reviled people in human history, either. At least, not that we know of. Not yet.<\/p>\n

Again, Microsoft and Google aren\u2019t the only companies working on generative AI, but their public releases have put more pressure on others to roll out their offerings as soon as possible, too. ChatGPT\u2019s release and OpenAI\u2019s partnership with Microsoft likely accelerated<\/a> Google\u2019s plans. Meanwhile, Meta is working<\/a> to get its generative AI into as many of its own products as possible and just released<\/a> a large language model of its own, called Large Language Model Meta AI, or LLaMA.<\/p>\n

With the rollout of APIs that help developers add ChatGPT and Whisper to their applications, OpenAI seems eager to expand quickly. Some of these integrations seem pretty useful, too. Snapchat now has<\/a> a chatbot called \u201cMy AI\u201d for its paid subscribers, with plans to offer it to everyone soon. Initial reports<\/a> say it\u2019s just ChatGPT in Snapchat, but with even more restrictions about what it will talk about (no swearing, sex, or violence). Instacart will use ChatGPT in a feature called \u201cAsk Instacart\u201d that can answer customers\u2019 questions<\/a> about food. And Shopify\u2019s Shop app has a ChatGPT-powered assistant<\/a> to make personalized recommendations from the brands and stores that use the platform.<\/p>\n

Generative AI is here to stay, but we don\u2019t yet know if that\u2019s for the best<\/h3>\n

Bing AI\u2019s problems were just a glimpse of how generative AI can go wrong and have potentially disastrous consequences. That\u2019s why pretty much every company that\u2019s in the field of AI goes out of its way to reassure the public that it\u2019s being very responsible with its products and taking great care before unleashing them on the world. Yet for all of their stated commitment<\/a> to \u201cbuilding AI systems and products that are trustworthy and safe,\u201d Microsoft and OpenAI either didn\u2019t or couldn\u2019t ensure a Bing chatbot could live up to those principles, but they released it anyway. Google and Meta, by contrast, were very conservative about releasing their products \u2014 until Microsoft and OpenAI gave them a push.<\/p>\n

Error-prone generative AI is being put out there by many other companies that have promised to be careful. Some text-to-image models are infamous for producing images with missing or extra limbs<\/a>. There are chatbots that confidently declare<\/a> the winner of a Super Bowl that has yet to be played. These mistakes are funny as isolated incidents, but we\u2019ve already seen one publication<\/a> rely on generative AI to write authoritative articles with significant factual errors.<\/p>\n

These screw-ups have been happening for years. Microsoft had one high-profile AI chatbot flop with its 2016 release of Tay, which Twitter users almost immediately trained to say some really offensive things<\/a>. Microsoft quickly took it offline<\/a>. Meta\u2019s Blenderbot is based on a large language model and was released in August 2022. It didn\u2019t go well. The bot seemed to hate Facebook<\/a>, got racist and antisemitic<\/a>, and wasn\u2019t very accurate<\/a>. It\u2019s still available<\/a> to try out, but after seeing what ChatGPT can do, it feels like a clunky, slow, and weird step backward.<\/p>\n

There are even more serious concerns. Generative AI threatens to put a lot of people out of work if it\u2019s good enough to replace them. It could have a profound impact on education<\/a>. There are also questions of legalities<\/a> over the material AI developers are using to train their models, which is typically scraped from millions of sources that the developers don\u2019t have the rights to. And there are questions of bias both in the material that AI models are training on and the people who are training them. <\/p>\n

On the other side, some conservative bomb-throwers<\/a> have accused generative AI developers of moderating their platforms\u2019 outputs too much and making them \u201cwoke\u201d and biased against the right wing. To that end, Musk, the self-proclaimed free-speech absolutist and OpenAI critic as well as an early investor, is reportedly considering<\/a> developing a ChatGPT rival that won\u2019t have content restrictions or be trained on supposedly \u201cwoke\u201d material.<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s the fear not of generative AI but of the technology it could lead to: artificial general intelligence. AGI can learn and think and solve problems like a human, if not better. This has given rise to science fiction-based fears that AGI will lead to an army of super-robots that quickly realize they have no need for humans and either turn us into slaves or wipe us out entirely.<\/p>\n

There are plenty of reasons to be optimistic about generative AI\u2019s future, too. It\u2019s a powerful technology with a ton of potential, and we\u2019ve still seen relatively little of what it can do and who it can help. Silicon Valley clearly sees this potential, and venture capitalists like Andreessen Horowitz<\/a> and Sequoia<\/a> seem to be all-in. OpenAI is valued at nearly $30 billion<\/a>, despite not having yet proved itself as a revenue generator. <\/p>\n

Generative AI has the power to upend a lot of things, but that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean it\u2019ll make them worse. Its ability to automate tasks may give humans more time to focus on the stuff that can\u2019t be done by increasingly sophisticated machines, as has been true for technological advances before it. And in the near future \u2014 once the bugs are worked out \u2014 it could make searching the web better. In the years and decades to come, it might even make everything else better, too.<\/p>\n

Oh, and in case you were wondering: No, generative AI did not write this explainer.<\/p>\n
