Part 4/12:
A significant leap occurred in 2014 when Ian Goodfellow introduced Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), enabling machines to generate realistic data—an essential precursor to today's models. The exponential growth in compute power, exemplified by Elon Musk’s announcement of a 100,000 GPU data center, has been instrumental. Gurban emphasizes that recent advancements, such as GPT-3, GPT-4, and the latest models like GPT-4.01, have transitioned AI from mimicking human actions to demonstrating human-like reasoning and rationalization capabilities.
