How many times have we heard this phrase? But what is a revolution, and what are we talking about here? - chopped-up photo from an old PWC advert. Note that the advertiser has confused Fontainebleau with Versailles. Seen from the United States, it's all a bit the same. It’s an AI ‘revolution?’ How many times have we heard pundits say that? But what is a revolution and is it true? – The above touched up and cropped photo taken from an old PWC advert. Note that the agency mistook the Chateau of Fontainebleau for Versailles.

It reminds me of my 2013 presentations on social media. I was already showing the same photo (above, taken from an NBC broadcast), which was supposed to prove a change in society. Enough of that, let’s get back to our main topic, i.e., generative AI.
