These are mind bogglingly good

If you ran it 1000 times and picked the best, you might get all good ones. I would want to see all 1000. It's like stock picker ads (person who called the market says XXX) where you only show the lucky ones.

Agreed that people should pay attention to cherry-picking of model outputs.

For this one in particular, here are a few more results for Battlestar and The Office:

It doesn’t matter if these images were one in 10,000, the facts that any exist that are this good is crazy.

Yeah exactly. The fact that a person who could never create such a picture on their own, now just has to go through a bunch of images and select one to get this result is already amazing. The goal posts keep shifting, glass half empty.

Loved the David Lynch ones. I'm disappointed the image it generated for Eraserhead[1] didn't have Kermit as the baby[2]. I'm curious as to what it would generate for "Kermit the Frog in David Lynch's Dune".

These are honestly not very impressive (no sarcasm here) and further convince me that the next AI Winter will come with this coming recession.

Don't get me wrong, they are still impressive in the quality of the visual they produce, but just like Markov Chain demos of old, they're neat but way miss the mark.

None of these capture the "feel" of Kermit the Frog. Most of them look like weird designs for the Ninja Turtles movie in the 90s.

There are several distinctive features of Kermit that a missing from nearly all of these.

- For any of the "live action" ones, Kermit should still always be a puppet. - Kermit notoriously has lanky arms, - Kermit never has eye lids - His eyes sit way on top of his head. - He often has his weird neck decoration. - His eyes have a very distinctive pupil shape.

None of these get Kermit correct, they all just look like frogs (maybe Dalle2 isn't trained on copyrighted/trademarked material?)

There are fan made versions of some of these which show just how different Dalle2 is from human imagination:

Kermit actually has been on family guy: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/muppet/images/7/71/Famguys...

There are several "Kermit in Star Wars Examples" here are two: https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/021/668/ker..., https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6MebZx-4950/maxresdefault.jpg

Again if this was done on someone's laptop it would be really impressive. However the fact that so much talent and resources were poured into pushing AI to it's limits and this is what we get tells me we've hit another brick wall as far as research goes.

This is amazing. We are at the precipice of someone releasing a $100M blockbuster movie just based on the language in the script with zero cost beyond compute. What will this mean for the future of entertainment…

I suspect at some point in the next 5-15 years we will begin to see AI generated entertainment perfectly tailored to a person's preferences.

I don’t understand how this isn’t infringing some copyright. Anyone do any research on this?

If we accept that a model trained on copyright material does not infringe on the materials rights, then circumventing all copyright can be as simple as creating a sufficiently close derivative and giving it away.

Not to say that copyright is good to begin with.

If this is legit it would be one of the most impressive things I've seen in many years.

? Dale is a legit project from openAI

That doesn't mean the images in this tweet thread are output from Dalle though…

Although if an individual created all of these then that's about the same amount of impressive

I thought I was taking crazy pills, none of them look like kermit bur rather they look like a generic frog. They don't even have the same pattern around his collar.
