chatgpt is the coward's way out. if you have a paper due in 40 minutes you should be chugging six energy drinks, blasting frantic circus music so loud you shatter an eardrum, and typing the most dogshit essay mankind has ever seen with your own carpel tunnel laden hands

A Comprehensive Introduction to Generative AI Application Development

Remember the last time you used your phone without using any application? Me neither. Web and mobile applications are essential tools that make our daily tasks easier, connect us with others, and bring countless services right to our fingertips.  

From Mobile apps that we use for deliveries to web apps which help enterprises solve major business problems; applications shape the digital landscape. Application development is essentially the entire process through which an app is made. It involves understanding the business requirement, designing how the application would look, coding, testing, and finally deploying it.  

Now that you know about application development, let’s explore how generative AI is revolutionizing the process, making it faster, and more adaptable than ever. 

What is Generative AI and how can we use it for Application Development? 

GenAI or Generative artificial intelligence is a type of AI tool that uses data to generate content. It is predominantly a deep-learning model which you can train on certain data to generate new content. This can include content like audio, images, text, code, videos and so much more.  

It can even impersonate an author’s style and create content that resembles it. You must have heard of ChatGPT; it’s a generative AI chatbot which uses all the data that it has been fed to generate responses.  

Application development is a challenging process which involves multiple stages from idea creation to prototyping to deployment and monitoring. The entire process can take months. GenAI can transform application development by making it faster and more efficient.  

You can use generative AI for developing your application in the following ways –  

Code assistance 

Visualizing UI/UX ideas for prototypes  

Sample test case generation  

Automated testing, bug detection, and improving code quality before deployment. 

Analyzing data to provide personalized content and to understand user behavior and application performance 

Automatically generating documentation  

Detection of security issues and potential threats 

Continuous monitoring 

Thus, we can see that generative AI simplifies different parts of application development, making the process smarter and more focused on user needs. 

Using GenAI for application development sounds great but you might want to know if it’s worth it for you and your business. So, let’s turn to the business benefits. 

Business benefits of using GenAI for Application Development 

Faster Time to Market: Generative AI speeds up development by automating coding, prototyping, and testing. Companies using AI have seen a 30% faster time to market, letting them launch products quicker and stay ahead.  

Cost Savings: Automating repetitive tasks with AI reduces the need for extra resources in coding and testing. Deloitte found that organizations using AI save up to 40% on operational costs, freeing up funds for other purposes.  

Increased Developer Productivity: Generative intelligence boosts productivity by taking care of routine and repetitive tasks, allowing developers to focus on bigger goals. McKinsey reports that AI tools can improve developer productivity by 50%, leading to faster project progress.  

Better Product Quality: AI tools catch bugs early in development, which means fewer issues after launch and a more stable product, resulting in improved user satisfaction.  

Personalized User Experiences: Generative AI uses data insights to adapt apps to user preferences, helping boost engagement and retention, which supports growth. 

Implementing GenAI in application development yields these significant business advantages, helping companies thrive in a fast-paced digital economy.

A group of Wikipedia editors have formed WikiProject AI Cleanup, “a collaboration to combat the increasing problem of unsourced, poorly-written AI-generated content on Wikipedia.” The group’s goal is to protect one of the world’s largest repositories of information from the same kind of misleading AI-generated information that has plagued Google search results, books sold on Amazon, and academic journals. “A few of us had noticed the prevalence of unnatural writing that showed clear signs of being AI-generated, and we managed to replicate similar ‘styles’ using ChatGPT,” Ilyas Lebleu, a founding member of WikiProject AI Cleanup, told me in an email. “Discovering some common AI catchphrases allowed us to quickly spot some of the most egregious examples of generated articles, which we quickly wanted to formalize into an organized project to compile our findings and techniques.”

A new tool lets artists add invisible changes to the pixels in their art before they upload it online so that if it’s scraped into an AI training set, it can cause the resulting model to break in chaotic and unpredictable ways. 

The tool, called Nightshade, is intended as a way to fight back against AI companies that use artists’ work to train their models without the creator’s permission. Using it to “poison” this training data could damage future iterations of image-generating AI models, such as DALL-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion, by rendering some of their outputs useless—dogs become cats, cars become cows, and so forth. MIT Technology Review got an exclusive preview of the research, which has been submitted for peer review at computer security conference Usenix.   

AI companies such as OpenAI, Meta, Google, and Stability AI are facing a slew of lawsuits from artists who claim that their copyrighted material and personal information was scraped without consent or compensation. Ben Zhao, a professor at the University of Chicago, who led the team that created Nightshade, says the hope is that it will help tip the power balance back from AI companies towards artists, by creating a powerful deterrent against disrespecting artists’ copyright and intellectual property. Meta, Google, Stability AI, and OpenAI did not respond to MIT Technology Review’s request for comment on how they might respond. 

Zhao’s team also developed Glaze, a tool that allows artists to “mask” their own personal style to prevent it from being scraped by AI companies. It works in a similar way to Nightshade: by changing the pixels of images in subtle ways that are invisible to the human eye but manipulate machine-learning models to interpret the image as something different from what it actually shows.

After 146 days, the Writer's Strike has ended with a resounding success. Throughout constant attempts by the studios to threaten, gaslight, and otherwise divide the WGA, union members stood strong and kept fast in their demands. The result is a historic win guaranteeing not only pay increases and residual guarantees, but some of the first serious restrictions on the use of AI in a major industry.

This win is going to have a ripple effect not only throughout Hollywood but in all industries threatened by AI and wage reduction. Studio executives tried to insist that job replacement through AI is inevitable and wage increases for staff members is not financially viable. By refusing to give in for almost five long months, the writer's showed all of the US and frankly the world that that isn't true.

Organizing works. Unions work. Collective bargaining how we bring about a better future for ourselves and the next generation, and the WGA proved that today. Congratulations, Writer's Guild of America. #WGAstrong!!!

I saw a post before about how hackers are now feeding Google false phone numbers for major companies so that the AI Overview will suggest scam phone numbers, but in case you haven't heard,

PLEASE don't call ANY phone number recommended by AI Overview

unless you can follow a link back to the OFFICIAL website and verify that that number comes from the OFFICIAL domain.

My friend just got scammed by calling a phone number that was SUPPOSED to be a number for Microsoft tech support according to the AI Overview

It was not, in fact, Microsoft. It was a scammer. Don't fall victim to these scams. Don't trust AI generated phone numbers ever.
