Did a reverse image search on the logo and came across this oddity: https://www.knowasiak.com/i-vulnerable-dall%C2%B7e-2-to-gene... Generative ML is going to destroy the internet one day.

how did this happen?

is someone generating paraphrased clones of articles appearing on HN?

why? for ad revenue?

I just got access today. Can’t wait to try it out. We produce a lot of content and the biggest hurdle in graphic creation is the back and forth with the designer, plus the lag between writing, designing, and publishing. This would make it easy enough that the writer can include a prompt for the illustration right in the text itself. More than the costs, I’m excited about the efficiency gains and smoother workflows.

Definitely check out this[0] presentation for tips around working with Dalle. [0]: http://dallery.gallery/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/The-DALL%C...

That is incredible, and actually helps as a visual reference to look through different styles and come up with more descriptive sentences.

I wonder if Kai Krause lurks here at HN. I'd love to know how he's doing. Apparently he's still living in his castle, which he bought around 1999 [0]. Some-when in the 00's I read an article about him that he was putting advanced networking stuff into the castle and had the intention to start something like a "think-tank" (doesn't really fit it, but I don't know what I'd call it) where he and others would hang around…

Hunh, I’ll be in that neck of the world next week. Need to look into this…

Please follow up, and tell us - even a Show HN

Starting up illustrator already takes a few minutes.

I think you might need a new computer

I havn't installed it on my latest laptop, but I would guess that the Adobe Cloud crap with the login is still there.

I feel like you look at this too much as a creator rather than the customer. The logo may be not optimal for every medium, not have a great palette, not have the feel you would give it... But the author is happy with the result, so who are we to say it's bad/good? Paraphrasing @mipsytipsy "colour harmony doesn't matter if the user isn't happy". (yes, I get the nuance where it's part of the designers job to explain wh…

Why is the creator the only one that needs to be happy? I assume they created that project to be used by others and to possibly monetize it. That sounds more like the users / clients are the ones that are supposed to like it... I never understood this logic, where the creator of something does something seemingly stupid and people are like "Well, don't use their project then if you don't like it". Instead of construc…

> Why is the creator the only one that needs to be happy?

Because they define what the success is. If their goal is to make money they may want a logo which is the closest to optimal for getting clicks. If they want a private project, they may want it to be fun. And many other scenarios... You're welcome of course to do constructive criticism, but in the end it's up to them if they want to apply it.

I google translated that to Spanish and it feels like it makes sense - because my Spanish is poor so I interpolate to make sense. Also translation itself “tries to” make sense of the text.

Do people trying to read GPT3 generated English translated into their own language have more difficulty detecting generated trash?

I think a lot of DALL-E 2 outputs fall into the category of "extremely impressive that a neural network made this" and also "not quite up to the standards of a human expert". Like if you show me an output and told me a machine made it, I'm absolutely fascinated, but if you showed me the same image and told me a human drew it, I'd just scroll past without a second thought. Even so, there are some applications for whic…

It is creating better images than the huge majority of people would do. Cheaply.

As you say, an expert can do far better.

But having something artistic created that well exceeds the average ability is gobsmakingly astonishing. And for quick blast variety generation, it is world class.

"Everybody has heard about the latest cool thing™, which is DALL·E 2" became...

"Each person has heard in regards to the most up-to-date frigid ingredient™, which is DALL·E 2"

I'm not too worried
