5 What else can AI generate?

This chapter covers

Using generative AI for code creation and code-related tasks
Tools that allow code generation and how to use them
Best code generation practices
Generating video and related tools
Generating audio, music, and related tools

Code that writes itself with little prompting and without much input seems magical, resembling a holy grail, at least to those working in computing. Given the advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) with generative AI, this endeavor seems possible today. We have seen some amazing and interesting things AI can generate—from language to images to holding an ongoing back-and-forth multiturn conversation—and many of them have strong use cases in enterprises.
