text: **Generative AI**
  
  In the early 2020s, generative AI gained widespread prominence. GenAI is AI capable of generating text, 
  images, videos, or other data using generative models,[168][169] often in response to prompts.[170][171] 
  
  In March 2023, 58% of U.S. adults had heard about ChatGPT and 14% had tried it.[172] The increasing 
  realism and ease-of-use of AI-based text-to-image generators such as Midjourney, DALL-E, and Stable 
  Diffusion sparked a trend of viral AI-generated photos. Widespread attention was gained by a fake photo 
  of Pope Francis wearing a white puffer coat, the fictional arrest of Donald Trump, and a hoax of an attack 
  on the Pentagon, as well as the usage in professional creative arts.[173][174]
