Something I haven’t seen anyone talking about with these huge models: how do future models get trained when more content online is model generated to start with? Presumably you don’t wanna train a model on autogenerated images or text, but you can’t necessarily know which is which.

The images i have created all have a watermark.. This is at least one way to filter out most images, by the same AI at least.

I'm blown away by this: "Starting today, users get full usage rights to commercialize the images they create with DALL·E, including the right to reprint, sell, and merchandise. This includes images they generated during the research preview." I assumed this was going to be the sticking point for wider usage for a long time. They're now saying that you have full rights to sell Dall-E 2 creations?

Does DALL-E create different outputs for the same input? How does ownership work there?

Interesting. I got access couple weeks ago (was on waitlist since the initial announcement) and frankly as much as really want to be excited and like it, DALL-E ended up being a bit underwhelming. IMHO - often results that produced are of low quality (distorted images, or quite wacky representation of the query). Some styles of imagery are certainly a better fit for being generated by DALL-E, but as far as commercial usage I think it needs a few iterations and probably even larger underlying model.

> Starting today, users get full usage rights to commercialize the images they create with DALL·E, including the right to reprint, sell, and merchandise. This includes images they generated during the research preview. So DALL·E 2 is going to restart, revive and cause another renaissance of fully automated and mass generated NFTs, full of derivatives and remixing etc to pump up the crypto NFT hype squad? Either way,…

I have tried playing around with the beta access to make it generate NFT art with different prompts, but in vail.

I think it has not been trained on NFT art (crypto punks and so on).

And I just used it to create cover art for a book published in Amazon :) https://twitter.com/nutanc/status/1549798460290764801?s=20&t...

What was your prompt?

yes it will. it'll keep on augmenting the image until it recognizes it as the input

Quoted post unavailable.

So you actually _wanted_ images that perpetuate the biases of the world?

Unfortunately, the method OpenAI may be using to reduce bias (by adding words to the prompt unknown to the user) is a naive approach that can affect images unexpectedly and outside of the domain OpenAI intended: https://twitter.com/rzhang88/status/1549472829304741888

I have also seeing some cases where the bias correction may not be working at all, so who knows. And it's why transparancy is important.

I don't see why there's any credible reason to expect that DALL-E will do anything at all to help those promoting the NFT silliness. Two separate issues.

If OpenAI could make a profit selling Dall-E images as NFT, I'd assume they'd do it, yeah?

This precise thing is causing a funny problem in specialty areas. People are using e.g. Google Lens to identify plants, birds and insects, which sometimes returns wrong answers e.g. say it sees a picture of a Summer Tanager and calls it a Cardinal. If the people then post "Saw this Cardinal" and the model picks up that picture/post and incorporates it into its training set, it's just reinforcing the wrong identification..

Makes me think of Ouroboros https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ouroboros
