This blog post proves that Dall-E 2 will not make human taste and design ability obsolete. The final image he ended up with is a lot uglier and more complicated than most of the intermediate steps. I think generative art AIs will have a similar effect on design as compilers have on software development, and will not put artists out of a job.

Not trying to be a luddite and/or vehemently defend the noble profession of nuanced graphic design, BUT... Those iterations suck. I'm not worried for my colleagues and I. That being said! Many, MANY clients have questionable taste, and I can, indeed, see many who aren't sensitive to visuals to be more than happy with these Dall-E turd octopus logo iterations. Most people don't know and don't care what makes good grap…

I agree. But I think the key thing is that deciding what phase to feed the system was still the key task. Creative people are unlikely to be out of a job anytime soon, even if they end up using something like Dalle to make quick prototypes.

Will DALL•E 2 make human taste obsolete? No, absolutely not. But DALL•E 3? 4? Other similar models in the next 5 years? Absolutely yes. This blog post proves that with current algorithms, human input is needed, but it proves nothing about future algorithms. In my personal opinion as an (admittedly junior) ML engineer and lifelong artist, we've got <10 years before the golden age of human-made art is completely over.

> unfortunately can’t do stuff like “give me the same entity as on the picture, but doing xyz” That's my main gripe with DALL·E as well. This missing feature makes it impossible to use for stories where the same character goes through an adventure and is present in different settings, doing different things. Although I don't know much about how DALL·E works, I have the feeling it shouldn't be too hard to add this pos…

No offense, but this gives me flashbacks to bad clients and non-technical managers :D

Sure, I am the secret GPT 5 experiment. Now you got me. Congrats:)

Exactly how I'd expect a GPT experiment to reply! ;) We'll hardly be able to tell the difference, if at all. Maybe it doesn't matter as long as the conversation is engaging for the human.

Yep. Interesting times ahead of us:) How we will be able to tell the difference? QR Code/Genetic sample government approved app for human verification?

And what when people are certain that the machines are better in everything, who will want to chat, listen to music or watch paintings from the "lame" humans, when the robots will be the ultimate solution for every human need?

This is remarkable. A lot of small businesses would settle with such an outcome, if it means to invest a couple of hours of talking into a microphone and seeing the result, with a very intuitive way to modify it.

This will make it pretty hard for freelance/solo entrepreneur designers.

In retrospect it makes sense, since the visual domain has been the one with the most focus in AI.

If this gets applied to the other top domain, speech recognition and generation, then I could foresee this doing the same to the call centers, eventually also phone reception in a very small and relaxed business.

Not sure if this will be considered off topic, my apologies if so. The article says that octopi is the plural of octopus, but it's actually octopuses. Octopus is originally Greek, not Latin and thus does not get the Latin plural -i, but instead would get the Greek plural -odes. Since it ends in a way English can deal with, the commonly accepted usage is octopuses (English) over octopodes (Greek) with octopi being the…

I much prefer octopodes over octopuses (which sounds dirty, somehow). Agree that octopi is an abomination.

image generators are cool, but there's no shortage of them (midjourney & running your own on collab) and dalle2 has nonsensical bans (why does "pepe" go against the content policy?) Open-ai has nonsensical censorship. Dalle might be popular right now, but open-ai won't survive if they keep up their ridiculous attempts at trying to control culture. I've already got something running on collab, new models are coming ou…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepe_the_Frog may explain the ban.

I'm not sure I'd use this for a logo. IANAL but my understanding is the ability to copyright the output from something like DALL-E 2 is questionable at best, due the lack of human authorship. (See "Monkey selfie copyright dispute" on Wikipedia for more info.)

What if DALL-E or its successor spits out a few hundred trillion illustrations? None are copyrightable?

I think someone taking the time to touch this up would make it copyrightable and trademarkable, and I'm okay with that.

AI generated patents though? Only if we allow AI generated prior art.

In the past, eliminating humans from one set of jobs has been balanced by a new set of opportunities for humans in different jobs. Usually, the new jobs are more valuable. That's not utopianism. The new jobs can't always be filled by the people kicked out of jobs. It really sucks to be them. But it does mean that it's not irrational for people to want to automate other people's jobs. The net amount of stuff generated…

> enough stuff to guarantee a decent standard of living to everybody It's not a zero sum game. There's still growth in us. We'll go to space and expand 1000x more, the space has plenty of resources, and humans will have jobs working together with AI.
