Viewing enriched Twitter post
Back in 2017 my book had an entire chapter on generative AI, including language modeling and image generation. I wrote that content in 2016 and early 2017. This was some of the earliest textbook content that covered generative AI. All the way back in 2014 I was convinced that AI would one day become a major source of cultural content creation -- which was a completely outlandish position at the time.
