Surprised by the lack of comments on the ethics of DALL-E being trained on artists content whereas copilot threads are chock full of devs up in arms over models trained on open source code. Isn’t it the same thing?

Is it trained on unlicensed work gathered at random at the web?

(I really don't know, and I didn't find anything about it on their site.)

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.

Try Auto-Install Free SSL plugin, it easy for me

Can you share a few, please? I am already out of credits on Midjourney and I don't even feel like I got the hang of it until I was almost out.

Here are a couple I've used recently: Majestic diffusion - https://github.com/multimodalart/majesty-diffusion Centipede diffusion - https://colab.research.google.com/github/Zalring/Centipede_D...

These need to be Kaggle'd already, fuck

Colab is dogshit if you don't pay

Hilarious. Those first images have hurt feminism more than the GOP has in 30 years.

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 i…

> Isn't every "new style" just a novel combination of pre-existing concepts? At the extreme limit, maybe. But within art or even digital art, then new styles are actually not that rare, humans are pretty good at generating them. Maybe they grab inspiration from nature, visual phenomena, etc, so in that sense it's not "new" but it is "new to the medium". In art you new styles all the time. DALL-E will never do that by…

> It's very nature is without-meaning and without-originality.

That's a pretty bold claim. What are humans but statistical models that generate based on pre-existing training -- and yet, are humans not with-meaning and with-originality?

Of course, human brains are some large order of magnitude more complex than the neural nets that underlie most AIs, but we can already see areas where these "simplistic" AIs outperform humans on specific tasks. So what prevents the arts from being one of those areas? If not now, in some not-too-distant future?

These results are pretty amazing. Are these cherry picked / curated / edited at all?

Yes they are heavily cherry picked. The web site itself has a disclaimer about it.

I had the same thought when I saw this one http://dailywrong.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/DALL%C2%B7E...

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?

It also means there will possibly be another renaissance of fully automated, mass generated NFTs and tons of derivatives and remixes flooding the NFT market in an attempt to pump the NFT hype again. It doesn't matter, OpenAI wins anyway as these companies will pour hundreds of thousands into generated images. It seems that the NFT grift is about to be rebooted again, such that it isn't going to die that quickly. But…

A massive increase in the offer will mean the price of these NFTs will tend towards zero.
