Nvidia AI chip offerings are also heavily exposed to generative AI, which has been popular this year. The system consumes text, photos, and videos in a brute-force method to generate content. The publication of ChatGPT by OpenAI last year increased interest in this type of AI.

The advent of ChatGPT and its fast popularity has also fueled interest in generative artificial-intelligence technologies that produce content by training on text, photos, and videos.
