What's your favorite science fiction technology that's been turned into something real?

In 1865, Jules Verne wrote From the Earth to the Moon, where he described spacecrafts and rockets, that eventually sounded a lot like Apollo-11.

Start-ups today are even using ideas from science fiction as the imagination to power their innovation.

What are some things you've read in sci fi that have become true-to-life?

Turning words into images, DALL-E just looks magical. Using word to describe a image and a few moments later, it is in front of us that might be just unimaginable a few years ago but it is a reality now. Lucky to be witnessing this things!

We're using AI to generate images for the Deepgram blog posts. We're using Jasper. We have a pretty interesting blog post about what went into that decision if you're interested.
