2022 Roundup: Top 6 AI Products of the Year (Pt.1)
The world is changing and so are the products we come across every day. In 2023, we will see a lot of machine learning products that will reshape life as we know it.
We are living in a world where AI and machine learning are becoming more and more mainstream. We have seen some really cool developments over the last couple of years, but first, let’s take a look at some products that hit home and leveraged industries like a true guru.
In this article, we will present you with revolutionary AI products that hit the market in the last 12 months - and most of them we did not see coming.
Some of them might sound like something out of a science fiction movie, but they are very much real!
1- StableDiffusion: ‘Mama, I’m an artist!’
- Mother Company: Stability AI
- Release Date: August 22, 2022
- Primary Function:
It is a latent text-to-image diffusion model capable of generating photo-realistic images given any text input, cultivates autonomous freedom to produce incredible imagery, empowers billions of people to create stunning art within seconds. For free!
Long story short, it transforms your short text prompt to a never-existed-before image.
- The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly:
Stable Diffusion by Stability AI represents the industrial revolution for artists. And now, you can either rebel and say ‘they are replacing us’, or be resilient enough and find your way around it. We also would like to remind you that Stability AI in its press release has announced that photos generated by its product are eligible for commercial use, however:
“Note that while users have forfeited copyright (and any/all intellectual property right claims) on these images, they are still public domain and can be used by anyone for any purpose, including by the user.”
- Try It Yourself:
You can start creating your own art here, but beware that it performs poorly for images related to human anatomy and faces of celebrities, and body parts like: hands.
2- ChatGPT: Talk that talk! - or any talk actually!
- Mother Company: OpenAI
- Release Date: November 30, 2022
- Primary Function:
It is a language model, specifically trained for interactions by conversation.
- The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly:
This is no regular AI trend, ChatGPT changes a lot! While it is still not available in many countries, it went viral faster than light, because it does not only talk to you; but functions as a jack of all trades. Users have unveiled the countless uses of it, and it seems like we have only scratched the surface!
- Might replace Google! Entirely! :)
- Solves your code bugs. Just ask nicely!
- Explains complicated regex
- Can write long-form code
- Ask the chat to be funny in its answers, like: ‘Tell me why I am miserable, but be funny!’
And much more!
While deflecting illegal and inappropriate questions is still in progress, OpenAI has revealed its intention to work on their product to reject questions with bad motives.
- Talk with ChatGPT:
Say hi here!
3- Bloom:
- Mother Company: Hugging Face
- Release Date: 11th March, 2022
- Primary Function:
BLOOM is an autoregressive Large Language Model (LLM) trained to continue text from a prompt on vast amounts of text data using industrial-scale computational resources. It can also be instructed to perform text tasks it hasn't been explicitly trained for by casting them as text generation tasks.
- The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly:
This machine-learning-powered tool is able to generate text in 46 natural languages and 13 programming languages. This is the culmination of a year of work involving over 1000 researchers from 70+ countries and 250+ institutions, leading to a final run of 117 days. It is designed to enable researchers to seamlessly access a variety of documents and semi-structured data, discover and select the best results from many documents, capture the structure of these documents into text corpora, and analyze these documents in order to improve machine translation.
