If you’re unconvinced by the power of artificial intelligence, check the illustration above. I generated it in a number of seconds by thumbing the prompt “vaporwave robot carrying a briefcase full of cryptocurrency in a dark alley” into DALL-E 2, a free tool from OpenAI, the AI company funded by Elon Musk.
OpenAI’s latest AI model is even more powerful. It’s an uncannily realistic chatbot called ChatGPT that can produce reams of insightful text on almost anything you can throw at it. And unlike other language generation models, it can remember what you’ve told it, allowing for conversations that construct a convincing impression of a mind at work.
