“The emergence of generative artificial intelligence has marked a major turning point in the technological landscape, eliciting both fascination and hope. Within a few years, it has unveiled extraordinary potential, promising to transform entire sectors, from automating creative tasks to solving complex problems. This rise has placed AI at the center of technological, economic, and ethical debates.

However, generative AI has not escaped criticism. Some question the high costs of implementing and training large models, highlighting the massive infrastructure and energy resources required. Others point to the issue of hallucinations, instances where models produce erroneous or incoherent information, potentially impacting the reliability of services offered. Additionally, some liken it to a technological “bubble,” drawing parallels to past speculation around cryptocurrencies or the metaverse, suggesting the current enthusiasm for AI may be short-lived and overhyped.

These questions are legitimate and fuel an essential debate about the future of AI. However, limiting ourselves to these criticisms overlooks the profound transformations and tangible impacts that artificial intelligence is already fostering across many sectors. In this article, we will delve deeply into these issues to demonstrate that, despite the challenges raised, generative AI is far more than a fleeting trend. Its revolutionary potential is just beginning to materialize, and addressing these criticisms will shed light on why it is poised to become an essential driver of progress.”
