> The images just need to get across a vibe, they don't need to be perfect I dislike super generic stock photo at the beginning of an article. It’s completely pointless, sometimes aesthetically unpleasant, often disconnected with the actual content, and hence a distraction. If neither you nor the reader cares about the stock photo, why not just forsake the thumbnail or use your website’s logo?
It seems pointless but it works. Our monkey brains like aesthetics. From the article: > Blog posts with images get 2.3x more engagement
I wonder if that is because of social media. In which case add the silly image to the metadata for embedding as a tweet, but keep it out of the post.

Here's a vast catalog of Dall-E images and the prompts used to generate them. https://www.krea.ai/ Oh, and if you generate an image with Dall-E and there's a face that is distorted, you can use this tool to restore the facial features. https://arc.tencent.com/en/ai-demos/faceRestoration

What a weird decision to only display prompts in the page title, and nowhere else on the page

You are right. Humans will move on to building more high quality images. But for regular run of the mill stock images, AI is already there. I had done a small experiment to create stock images[1]

#235The "Bonus killer feature request for Google" kinda exists in PowerPoint in Office365, except that it's based on stock pictures, rather than synthetic images. It selects a picture based on the text currently present in the slide. So, unlike the "feature request", you don't even need to type a description. The feature is called "Design Ideas".

Nobody knows whether or not training a NN is fair use. If it were ruled to be not fair use then it would basically shut down a large chunk of ML research in the US, as it's not just Copilot that is training on copyrighted data. All the large language models require copyrighted data such as web crawls as there is just not enough public domain material around. So even if you are right, and courts rule that training is…
„Dad, Dad! Can you give me your gun? I want to shoot myself in my foot!“ - „Oh no, why would you ever want to do this?!“ - „the neighbours are doing it too!“ - „oh, alrighty then!“ I swear, world politics and economics isn’t much different from that, intellectually….
German quotation marks are now in the house.

I have a great example of this: "Jesus takes a selfie" - https://imgur.com/a/togE2ko I'm pretty sure this snap was three days after the resurrection.
Something that truly amazes me, is how well Dall-e handles lighting. The lighting and shadowing is really good, comparable to a path tracer, except it isn't really doing the super expensive light simulation that a path tracer does.
The shadows of the turkeys in OPs post is what impressed me the most so far...

It's coming for us, too. It won't be long before most software engineer positions are eliminated while some are replaced by software "technicians" with enough expertise to command AI to generate working code. Perhaps the technicians will be tasked with building tests and some automation, but even that stuff can be delegated to AI to an extent. This may seem far off because the present economy is accustomed to paying…
It will never come for us. You think it will, but that’s because you don’t understand software. Pick any random Jira ticket for a large software project. Could an AI understand and implement that feature into a larger project? Can it correctly deploy it without interruptions to production jobs? Will it correctly implement tests and decent code coverage? If there are regressions will it know how to go in and fix them?…
I guess the difference is, with the art the human can immediately reject/accept and iterate. And a bad image can be crappy, it doesn't break anything.
With software it might take days of testing to verify the result, and then repeat that for every iteration. Would be cheaper to build the thing!
Where AI might work is in some restricted subset of software, like a web CRUD app where you say "I want an app that stores a TODO list with dates". With the constraints of it being crud, it just needs to AI the database and arrangement of fields and so on.
The AI is not programming so much as it is choosing which "rails-like scaffolds" to initiate.

#239I find it quite ironic that a AI company like OpenAI seems to use word lists to prevent inappropriate content creation.

#240Am I one of the few people who finds these generated pictures really bad? They often have weird and unsettling details when you look closely. I mean, it’s an incredible achievement in AI that we can generate images at this level, but I don’t want them shown to me on a daily basis while I’m reading blogs.
I sunk ~20 hours and $100 playing with DALL-E since last week and I've had a very different experience. Sure--my first dozen attempts with the engine gave bad results, but once I learned to "speak its language" it got easier to generate highly-polished images. The most realistic results come by appending things like "realistic photograph, 4k, in the style of a fashion magazine" to prompts. I suppose any style would w…
