I was supposed to be making a video game, but got a bit sidetracked when DALL·E came out and made this website on the side: http://dailywrong.com/ (yes I should get SSL). It's like The Onion, but all the articles are made with GPT-3 and DALL·E. I start with an interesting DALL·E image, then describe it to GPT-3 and ask it for an Onion-like article on the topic. The results are surprisingly good.

Hot dang. Some Reddit subs can be auto-generated now.

Somehow these articles are more readable than typical AI-generated search engine fodder... Is it because I'm entering the site with an expectation of nonsense?

Probably because, by the creator's own admission, the articles are heavily cherry-picked to make sure the output is decent, which is probably a lot more human effort than goes into the aforementioned search engine fodder. http://dailywrong.com/sample-page/

DALL-E can generate recognizable pictures of Homer Simpson, Batman and other commercial properties. Such images could easily be considered derivative works of the original copyrighted images that were used as training input. I'm sure there are plenty of corporate IP lawyers ready to argue the point at court.

I'm kind of surprised that no one had found "verbatim copy" cases as were made with GitHub Copilot. Such exact copies in photography are likely easier to go for than with code snippets.

It might be interesting to find an image in the training set with a long, very unique description, and try that exact same description as input in DALL·E 2.

Of course it's unlikely to produce the exact same image, or if it does, you've also discovered an incredible image compression algorithm.

These are actually quite funny. A bit of a surreal touch, but that makes them even more fun.

This one seems like it could actually be real in Japan: http://dailywrong.com/anime-pillow-gym-opens-in-tokyo/ ;)

I don't know how to say this without sounding like a jerk, even if I bend over backwards to preface that this isn't my intent: this statement says more about your creativity and curiosity than a ceiling on how entertaining DALL-E can be to someone who could keep multiple instances busy, like grandma playing nine bingo cards at once. Knowing that it will only get better - animation cannot be far behind - makes me feel…

Dall-e has novelty, but no intent, meaning, originality. Yes the author can be creative at generating prompts, but visually I haven’t seen it generate anything that feels artistically interesting. If you want pre-existing concepts in novel combinations then yes it works. It’s good at “in the style of” but there’s no “in a new style”. It has a house style too that tends to feel Reddit-like.

Isn't every "new style" just a novel combination of pre-existing concepts? Nothing new under the sun and all that.

Either way, I feel like your view is an exhaustingly pessimistic take on AI-generated art. I mean, sure, most of what DALL-E generates is pretty mundane, but other times I have been surprised at how bizarre and unique certain images are.

You seem to imply that because an AI is not human, its art is not imbued with meaning or originality -- but I find that an AI's non-human nature is precisely what _makes_ the art so original and meaningful.

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.

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 identificat…

It's a cybernetic feedback system. Dalle is used to create new images, the images that people find most interesting and noteworthy get shared online, and reincorporated into the training data, but now filtered through human desire.
