This article was almost completely generated by AI. The first two paragraphs were written by me, copied from my previous article. This is an example of what the current technology can do.

In the last few years, the hype around artificial intelligence has been increasing (again). Most of it is due to companies like OpenAI, Google, DeepMind (Google subsidiary), Meta, and others producing truly groundbreaking research and innovative showcases in the field. From machines winning complex games like Go and Dota 2to a variety of content generation techniques that produce text, images, audio, and now video, these technologies will have an impact on our future. It feels like we have experienced this hype towards AI in the past, but it never really materialized into anything relevant to our lives.

On one side, technology might not be there yet for some of those advanced problems, in another, humans tend to be skeptical of machines taking over some of our areas of expertise (Skynet didn’t help here). From this point onwards the text was generated by a GPT-3 model. In any case, it is important to understand that the current hype around AI is different. Not only are the techniques more advanced, but also the industry and society are much more prepared to accept and use these technologies in our everyday lives.
