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". [1]: https://twitter.com/HvnsLstAngel/status/1531774195234791424?...

If the results are actually impressive, then the dismissive rhetoric doesn't amount to a hill of beans.

Does that mean the developers put The Big Lebowski through the model during training? Where did they get all the movies and TV shows from? And does copying so directly from the source material open them and users up to copyright infringement liability?

I was assuming it was just movie posters and screenshots from online articles/reviews/imdb etc, and not any analysis of the video itself (I might be wrong though - using video would make the number of available input frames grow by orders of magnitude, not that there is a lack of pictures online).

E.g. The Shining picture of Jack Nicholson with the door isn't representative of the "look" of the film, but very much an iconic still frame and basically what you see in a Google image search for "The Shining".

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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 can already envision everyone talking over each other trying to say how their personal AI generated TV show is the best show they have ever seen. Just imagine how much lonelier the world is going to feel when people don't even have entertainment in common anymore.

Interesting point. I would love to see my personal perfect TV show.

But I would also love to see the perfect show for a combination of people, like my loved ones, so we can watch together.

And lastly, I would love to see the perfect show for a large majority of the population, because there is something special about a shared experience like Game of Thrones or Friends. To this day I can shout “pivooooot” and most everyone gets it.

Not to detract from the accomplishment, but none of these are Kermit. The "Kermit" part of the query seems mostly to have accomplished querying for "humanoid frog"

No those are clearly Kermit the Frogs

If I hadn't been prompted with the words Kermit, no way would I have guessed that they were supposed to be Kermit. For example, Kermit has a characteristic shape of his pupils. None of the examples have that.

Dall-E still blows my mind every time. To someone who is plugged into these things, how is this possible?

I understand computers and I understand back-propagation but this... it feels like magic to me.

Can someone indulge me in a short explanation of how this works and how is it this good?
