“When we first played with GPT-3, it was one of the defining moments where you realize that everything you thought a computer could do had just changed,” David says. “So often, though, there’s that initial wonder and then the reality starts to bite, and you realize that practical implementation just isn’t there. We’re not seeing that … we are seeing more use cases, not fewer.”
Today on Dry Powder, David and I explore some of the more exciting applications of generative AI. We’ll see how it’s being used not only to automate routine tasks but also to unleash the collective ingenuity of the workforce.
We also explore how Hg ensures that end users are prepared for this wave of innovation—and that they’re not overwhelmed by all of the new features hitting their screens at once.
