I'm not looking forward to people saying the same of coders in 10 years time...
That's already happening with no code tools, hosted solutions, saas, GitHub copilot and more.

Nah, people will leave out the professional. The same wild west grab whatever you can, steal, plunder to the detriment of artists, writers etc. And when the legislation arrives it will be already too late, accidentally.
Why should there be legislation? Do you want to restrict what people can do, just to force them to employ artists and writers? We could also forbid people from filling the gas tanks in their own cars, to protect the job of gas station attendant, but nobody wants to live in New Jersey.

editing: not that it's intentional, but these things will have the same effect; way too much product even for creative works. No one will be able to make money off the product but the tools.
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.
"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
Hey, author here, happy to answer any questions! The logo was created for OctoSQL[0] and in the article you can find a lot of sample phrase-image combinations, as it describes the whole path (generation, variation, editing) I went down. Let me know what you think! And btw. if you get access take a look at [1] before you start using it. A ton of useful bits and pieces for your phrases. TLDR: DALL·E 2 is really cool, t…
Hi cube2222, thanks for the writeup. I looked at your other blog posts and I would like to read more about octosql (needs/specification, architecture, development strategies, challenges, DBMS protocols/interfaces/libraries). And thank you for adding outer joins after I recently mentioned that they are missing!
There is no technical documentation available right now other than the readme. I'm planning to write it around September-December (together with a website for them).
You can share your email at jakub dot wit dot martin at gmail and I'll let you know when it's available.

Isn't this similar to how every single piece of art is created? You look at bunch of propriety art, copy it to learn how to create it yourself (just for learning, not to sell those copies), eventually learn enough to start being able to create art from scratch and then start selling your unique art? Would watching a lot of animated movies in order to learn how to create good animated movies yourself be unethical as w…
It's absolutely logically consistent to allow humans to do X while forbidding AI to do X.

By then I will have moved far beyond hands on keyboard type work and will be managing teams.
When AI reaches the point where we can talk to a system like DALL.E in real time and work with it to solve a problem, it's game over. Art will become a commodity. Human art and ai art will be indistinguishable, "artists" will become as common as "photographers" since the inception of digital photography and social media. Movie and TV scripts will be iterative with a creative director and AI working together. Animatio…
We have to keep in mind this was trained on art. Artists are people that sample the probability distribution of human experience and record it somehow. An AI trained on that art is a snapshot of the human experience. Without artists continually feeding the model we will collectively get bored of its output very quickly as it gets out of date and our human experience moves forward. It will be a useful tool as an augme…
I fail to understand how the AI is any more vulnerable to creativity in a vacuum than a fellow human artist.
> Artists are people that sample the probability distribution of human experience
Seems that you are agreeing that human artists need to tap into human experience and the world around them, so yeah, the AI will need to be able to take inputs from the external world too.
I see no reason for an AI not to be continually training on inputs from the outside world. How difficult can it be to hook an AI model up to inputs from the internet, or even putting cameras on drones or robots and letting it explore and get "inspired". I think it's myopic not to see how an AI can learn and evolve using the exact same mechanisms as humans. I mean we are building AI in our own likeness, it will operate using analogous mechanisms. There is also no reason why AIs won't talk to each other and be inspired by other AIs rather than humans.
What will the art of an AIs living together without human input look like? When are humans basically surpassed by AI and no longer have any relevant input? Just like Alpha Go humans will see stuff no one has thought of, stuff so wildly creative that human art will look naïve in comparison. That move Alpha Go gave to the world is waiting to happen in all forms of human endeavours.
When you say something like "if anything it may increase the demand for artists" all I can think of is the dozens of times throughout history that man has seen a revolution on the horizon and thought that the status quo will still be effective. We've always been wrong. Who would have thought selling books online would replace book stores, let alone become one of the world's most successful commerce platform period. Who would have thought that broadcast/cable TV could be replaced by people making their own shows at home and distributing them via personal computers building audience numbers that surpass network TV?
Whatever happens, however this plays out, we are in for a huge shock.
