AI has steadily been integrating into our lives for years, yet it’s only recently that it has shown promise as a practical technology.
With OpenAI’s ChatGPT launch last year, a fervor over machine learning ensued. Consequently, 2023 has witnessed a plethora of apps and devices boasting AI enhancements, regardless of their necessity. After sifting through numerous offerings, it’s clear that 2023 has been a landmark year for AI tools poised for further growth.
The Evolution of ChatGPT
When discussing influential AI, OpenAI’s premier product, ChatGPT, is a staple topic. This chat-centric interface leverages advanced natural language processing algorithms.
Many of today’s finest online tools are empowered by OpenAI’s API, with the current iteration being version 4.0, although most tools are still catching up via version 3.5.
While ChatGPT’s own interface isn’t without its rivals, its text generation capabilities remain at the apex for those familiar with AI prompts.

However, Adobe changed the game with the introduction of Adobe Firefly, embedding AI across its suite, with Photoshop reaping remarkable benefits.
Photoshop’s AI-powered generative tools enable seamless content integration into images. Most impressively, it allows for adapting image dimensions for varying screen sizes without compromising content authenticity.
Despite other tools offering similar features, Adobe Firefly leads the pack due to its seamless integration with familiar tools.
