What is multi-modal AI and does it deserve the hype its generating

If you went to LinkedIn over last week/2 weeks, you were probably inundated by people losing their minds over GPT integrating multi-modality into its capabilities. Normally, I would take some time to tell you that this is another example of the hype machine working overtime to sell you another fundamentally useless idea.

Well, this time is different. Multi-modality is a genuinely powerful development, one that does warrant the attention that it is receiving. In this article, I will give you a quick introduction to multi-modality, why its a big deal for AI Models, and some problems it can come with (remember, nothing is a silver bullet).

Overall, multi-modality is really cool. It enables all kinds of applications in compression, data annotation, labeling etc. This might be a bit of a heretical take, but Im personally more excited by multi-modal embeddings than I am by the multi-modal AI models themselves. I might be the only one here, but I just see more utility in developing better embeddings than I do with building better models. That being said, in the right circumstances integrating multi-modal capabilities into your AI Models can definitely be a big dub.
