TNIE brings you eight new generative AI services that promise to make your work and life more exciting in the future.
AI has taken the world by storm. ChatGPT, the AI assistant from non-profit company Open AI, was the first to give us a taste of what is arguably the most disruptive technological innovation of our times. In a very short time, ChatGPT not only became the fastest service to see 180.5 mln users, but has also become an indispensable tool for everyone from college students to writers.
But ChatGPT was just the first, or shall we say — the most famous. Since then, there have been several other so-called generative AI tools that have been made available online for producing everything from videos and voice-overs to gaming avatars.
