I think a tool like this might be good to help clients get through a few ideation phases on their own prior to showing up to the first discussion with branding / graphics / design professionals. At least it might get them closer to understanding the impossibility of their 7 perpendicular red lines requirement.

i am going to be extremely butthurt if clients start showing up and asking me to finish an ai's homework for them.

I think this is valid criticism and feels similar to restaurants that don’t put pepper on the table because the chef considers the food to be seasoned to the intended level before it leaves the kitchen. Some customers may be turned off by that level of pride, but other customers are willing to pay a premium for that level of pride to be shown by their chef.

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

lol, pepe did nothing wrong Just because some asshole uses the peace symbol, does it mean the peace symbol is hateful? Anyone who claims so is dishonest

If a neural network trained on data sucked off of the internet constantly draws frogs with a halo of swastikas when you ask for “Pepe” then maybe there’s a problem that needs solving there.

Given the stochastic way it works I wonder how the randomness is seeded for a certain phrase. In other words, if another person needed a logo and used the same phrase how long on average until they get a duplicate of your image?

The model starts from 64x64 8bit RGB image of noise (random pixels) so technically 1 in 3_145_728 (64x64x256x3) but most will probably be very close to each other as the color difference won't be that much. The image is then further upsampled by two other models which will change some details, but shouldn't affect the general composition of an image.

Maybe I'm wrong, but with these diffusion models there is randomness in every sampling step too not just in the initialization and they can have 1000 steps to generate a single image.

Existential threats tend to drive religious sentiment. To say this revolution is not going to happen is to say humans have hit a hard technological limit, and I don't see any evidence to support that. If I was less enthused I might make my opinions more philosophical than religious, but I feel overwhelmed by the possibilities of real world changes. This is no longer a philosophical thought experiment, it's happening.…

The sad part is you don't even realize how unhinged in a quasi david koresh style you sound. The observation that kurzwelians have substituted AI (as a deux ex machina) for god is still spot on, maybe more than ever. Singulatarians really are funny until it becomes tragic.

Suit yourself, but you don't have to be rude. I'd love to hear your take given your confidence to judge my opinions.

If you can have humans sort the generated images into "good quality" and "bad quality", you can just keep iterating. Our subjective ratings is another score to optimize for.

Doesn't the sample size for this have to be very large for it to make a difference? Genuine question.

With semi-supervised learning a small amount of labeled data, can produce considerable improvement in accuracy:

Eventually art for the people will become art for the individual. Our AI partner (I assume we will all have one) will serve up an entirely curated world. Art will be generated on the spot, just for you. Entertainment, just for you. Imagine having a TV show no one else ever sees because it was synthesized from your likes, experiences, interests, just for you, on demand. This will of course start with AI writing short…

> Already AI is being used for comic book backgrounds. It's just a matter of time before all of this becomes commonplace. That doesn't mean that it will make artists obsolete. It will give them more time to e.g. actually think about what kind of background would fit there best. It's a tool, not a replacement.

You are talking about today. Tomorrow will see comic books written, and illustrated on demand from a natural language conversation, then what?

I am trying to like DALL-E, but trying to create any kind of interesting album art seems to violate the terms of service.

I guess it’s useful for family friendly Disney-Esq corporate media, but for what I would consider real impactful art, it is lacking a great deal.

Don’t worry artist, your jobs are safe.

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…

Westworld showed this in a practical example, Delores was story telling verbally and the "AI" would show a preview of what that story would look like right in front of her. I envision DALL.E to do something similar to this.

Kai's Power Tools.

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…

Your comment really intrigued me to google this interesting person I had never heard about before. This may well not be used to you, but Kai has a not-a-blog blog that I stumbled upon on here http://kai.sub.blue/en/sizemo.html.

Some really interesting reads. I especially appreciated his articles on the passing of Douglass Adams (apparently a close friend of his!) and Then vs Zen.
