This session is presented by Sam Hendrickx and Michiel Vandendriessche, co-founders of Raccoons Group, thé Belgian experts in innovative technologies to craft future-proof experiences and products. As expected, they used ChatGPT to come up with the great title and abstract you just read above in seconds, showing the power of #GenerativeAI as a Human Amplification Tool.
This is also how we see this (r)evolution: tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, DALL-E 2, Stable Diffusion, ... will not replace copywriters, graphic artists, computer programmers, teachers, or marketeers, but it will help them to do their job faster and better. Tools will support, augment and amplify human work.
