Generative AI (artificial intelligence) refers to machine learning algorithms that can generate new, previously unseen data based on patterns and characteristics learned from a dataset.

While generative AI has been around for a while, 2022 will be remembered as the year when generative AI emerged with a cultural impact.

There are 2 important dates to remember in 2022.

  • August 22, 2022 — Stable Diffusion was released to the public as an open-source model
  • November 30, 2022 — ChatGPT was launched to the public as a prototype.

AI Art Is At The Forefront

Stable Diffusion is a text-to-image open-source model released by a collaboration of Stability AI, CompVis LMU, and Runway with support from EleutherAI and LAION.

For the future of generative AI, It can’t be underestimated how important it is that Stable Diffusion is open-source.

Since its release on that August 22nd date, we have seen an insane amount of AI art tools popping up on an almost daily basis. From websites to Google Colab notebooks, to plugins, to modules, to mobile apps.
