The 70-year-long AI winter erupted into a burgeoning spring when, in 2023, ChatGPT became the fastest-spreading invention in history. Not only have generative AIs passed the historic Turing test of intelligence, but they are also taking our digital reality by storm, adding a potent ingredient to a cauldron of innovation already spiced up with blockchain and the 3D metaverse.
